15480 Empire Rd. Benson, AZ 85602 hm ph: 520-586-2244 Hi Tom, Are you back from your wild adventures? I hope you and Jenn had a great time, though it looked like it might be a bit cold from your one picture! I was wondering do any of the AZ clubs record their meetings? Luis' talk sounds like a good one. Clear skies, Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy) ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Tom Polakis <tpolakis@xxxxxxx> To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, AZ-Observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Luis Martinez to Speak at SAC Meeting on Friday, June 10 Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 18:07:33 -0400 Luis Martinez will be speaking at this Friday's meeting of the Saguaro Astronomy Club. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at Grand Canyon University. Directions may be found here: http://saguaroastro.org/content/Meetings.htm Luis will speak about his efforts in astrometry and photometry from his back yard near Casa Grande. Thanks to the advances made in amateur grade telescopes, software, and CCD cameras, backyard astronomers can contribute valid astronomical research, and are doing real science shoulder to shoulder with their professional counterparts. This presentation will serve as an introduction to astrometry and photometry, based on his experience. Hope to see you at the meeting.
