[AZ-Observing] Final Notice of the Spectroscopy-Photometry Meeting

A small group of us are having a meeting at my home and observatory, 
Blue Hills Observatory, on Saturday September 6, 2008. This is near 
Prescott, Arizona at about 5200 ft elevation. There will be 
presentations and informal discussions related to spectroscopy and 
photometry. Currently, there are five committed talks. The titles and 
abstracts can be seen at http://users.commspeed.net/stanlep/Agenda.html. 
I have not assigned times yet because more talks are possible. If you 
would like to attend and give a paper please send me a title and 
abstract prior to the meeting. All papers will be uploaded to the Yahoo 
SW-Astrophysics web site and/or an external server that would be 
available to non-members of the Yahoo discussion group.

Currently, I plan to have the meeting run from 10:00am to 4:00pm, but 
this may change. The evening (night) is open, including spectroscopic 
sessions with my Meade 16” LX200R and the LHIRES III spectrometer.

There will be sandwiches for noon, and a potluck is planned for dinner. 
I will supply hot dogs and hamburger. Those coming significant distances 
can make a small money contribution in lieu of bringing a dish.

Because the meeting is being held at my home and observatory, I cannot 
provide sleeping rooms. However, anyone attending can camp on my five 
acre lot if they have a tent, travel trailer, or RV. In years past I 
have had star parties and this is what many did (see the open area on my 
lot at http://users.commspeed.net/stanlep/CampingArea.jpg). 
Alternatively, motels are available in Prescott Valley about 10 miles 
from my doorstep.

If you would like to attend send me a private email message so that I 
can plan for you and send directions.

Sincerely,
Stan Gorodenski
