President
David Warner
I’ve been interested in space and astronomy since watching astronauts drive rovers on the Moon. It wasn’t until I joined CSASTRO in 2011 that I really began to understand and appreciate all that there is to see. There are no limits to what one can get out of a membership in CSASTRO. I encourage anyone interested to join our organization and explore citizen science, astrophotography, outreach, education, archeo-astronomy and much more along with the fellowship that we experience with other like-minded astronomy enthusiasts in our area and around the world.
Vice President
Tom DeClue
I’ve been an avid amateur astronomer since my teen years, and a member of CSASTRO since 1995. I enjoy observational astronomy and building my own telescopes. I’m now retired after a 20 year USAF career and 20+ years in the local defense industry working in space systems.
Treasurer
Chelsea Winney
Ever since I was a little kid, I have been passionate about space. My parents were gracious enough to indulge my passion by spending time outside in the middle of the night and watching meteor showers with me. Growing up in small towns, we saw many in town, but my parents would also drive me outside of town, wrap me up like a burrito, and place me on top of the car to watch the stars fall. Now, I enjoy looking at objects in our Solar System with my binoculars and 4.5-inch Newtonian Telescope, which CSAS helped bring into working order for me.
Secretary
Brian Clary
I am a retired Systems Engineer that has had a love of astronomy for over 50 years. My parents bought me a 60mm Montgomery Wards alt-az refractor when I was about 10 years old and after I took a trip to Palomar Mountain, I was hooked. After moving to Colorado in 1992, I built my own observatory for photographing and observing the night sky. I joined CSASTRO in 2017 and I currently enjoy spending my time doing astrophotography and sharing my knowledge with others about Astro-imaging and the night sky.
