[AZ-Observing] Re: Epsilon Aurigae

Hi Jeff,
So do you have my autographed copy for the meeting next Friday? How much?
Hope you had a good summer. The wife and I took the 5th Wheel up north doing 
the Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier national parks, returning home via 
the Oregon coast. We started with the Grand Canyon Star party and carried my 
CGE 8 the whole time, but never set it up between my setting before the sun 
and just plain exhaustion from all the hiking we did.
Al.

Dear colleagues,

For those looking for an astronomy project, epsilon Aurigae is fairly
easy and an interesting one. The star system is doing interesting
things outside of its 27.1 year eclipse and the next 2 year eclipse
start next summer. To help with projects and for general knowledge,
Dr. Robert Stencel (University of Denver) and I have created a book
"Epsilon Aurigae, A Mysterious Star System." It's 287 pages soft
cover and is now available. It covers background information,
history, recent observation, the past campaign (1982-1984) and the
current campaign. Information on various techniques (photometry,
spectroscopy, polarimetry and interferometry) is also provide. More
information including ordering information can be found at:
http://www.hposoft.com/EAur09/Book.html

You are also invited to join the 2009 Eclipse Campaign. See:

Clear Skies!

Jeff
