Art Arnold-Roksandich
President
Ask me about:
I have been getting out and looking up for about 20 years.
I’m a relatively new member of the Prescott Astronomy Club as are most of the current officers.
We are beginning to return to more regular activities and I’m always interested in members’ input. Let me know what you would like the club to do or provide going forward.
If you have questions about astronomy, the equipment, observing, where to go, etc, please contact me or any of our officers. If we can’t help you, we will direct you to somebody who can.
I am always interested in improving the club. Let me know your thoughts.

Brian Blau
Vice President
Ask me about:
As a passionate astrophotographer and volunteer, I am
honored to be the VP of the Prescott Astronomy Club.
2023 is my 5th year in the astrophotography hobby but my experiences with cameras and image processing go back to the beginning of my professional career. I have always been fascinated by technology and astronomy fits in perfectly so I'll always be inquisitive and excited when we talk about the night sky.
Contact me to discuss any club issue but especially if you have any questions on topics like club meetings, speakers, and outreach opportunities.

Roland Albers
Treasurer
Ask me about:
I've been an avid amateur astronomer since childhood,
concentrating mostly on visual observing
but with occasional forays into astrophotography.
I moved to the Prescott area recently, primarily for its dark skies. What a treat it is to see the Milky Way shining brightly on a cloudless summer night! Now that I'm in a dark-sky friendly community, I'm looking forward to realizing a life-long goal of building a small observatory in my backyard.
I am honored to be able to contribute to the Prescott Astronomy Club as treasurer. Please ask me about club financial transactions and share any ideas for improving it.

Susanne Vaughan
Director at Large
Ask me about:
I am a retired professional mechanical engineer with an MBA.
I hail from Austin, Texas (Westlake area), have been married
almost 50 years to James, and have one daughter and two
grandsons. My interest in astronomy has renewed since I moved
to the clear viewing skies of northern Arizona.
Ken Olson
Director at Large
Ask me about:
I have lived in California, Georgia, and in Arizona, working as
a Lab Technician on signals, noise, and vibration equipment. My
interest in astronomy began in my twenties and, upon retiring, I
began to take up the hobby in earnest. Now living in Chino Valley where
there are clear, dark skies for viewing much of the year, I own a
10 inch Meade telescope, an 8 inch Celestron, and a 100mm
Lunt H-Alpha for solar viewing. I like to help at Star Parties, showing the wonders in our skies.
Lisa Anderson
Director at Large
Ask me about:
After moving away from the city and seeing real stars, I took
a couple of astronomy classes at the local college and I was hooked!
I then volunteered as a teaching assistant for college’s astronomy
lab classes for 15 years and then went on to work at Griffith Observatory
in Los Angeles as a guide.
For the last 30 years, I have enjoyed sharing my passion with students of any age who are eager to learn about the sky.
