All, The pass word for access to the "Members Only " area of the CAS website has changed to equin0x (yes that is the number zero in front of the x). The user name is still the same: CASuser As of now we have seven members that have indicated to me that they wish to continue to get the Sidereal Messenger by e-mail. The December issue of the Messenger will be the last issue sent to all active members via e-mail through the cas_messenger e-mail list. The January issue will be available from the "members Only" area of the web site. Those who don't tell me specifically that they want an e-mail edition will be deleted from the cas_messenger list before the January 2010 issue is published. This is my e-mail address: mailto:goldsmith0@xxxxxxx We are now offering Astronomy Technology Today at the club discounted rate $14.00 per year. Members can subscribe directly by going to the ATT website http://www.astronomytechnologytoday.com/. On the checkout page at the end of the subscription order process, you enter the discount code to receive the discounted rate. The discount code is: CAS We will also include the magazine on our regular subscription form and on the Annual Renewal form. A subscription form will be available soon on the members only area of the CAS website. The combination to the lock on the gate of the Dark Sky Site has been changed. The combination is now 1609. If you have any questions please ask. Ralph Goldsmith Membership Chair
