Hi Stan, Sorry for the late RSVP. I'll be driving up with Gene Lucas and some contributions to the potluck. Looking forward! Thanks for setting this all up. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like for me to bring. Kind regards, Jennifer Polakis 480 967 1658 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan Gorodenski" <stanlep@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "SW-Astrophysics" <SW-Astrophysics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "AZ-Observing" <az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <aavso-discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 2:36 PM Subject: [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 are not familiar with my observatory and the surrounding area you can see it at http://users.commspeed.net/stanlep/permanentobservatoryns.html My web site home page is http://users.commspeed.net/stanlep/homepagens.html If you would like to attend send me a private email message so that I can plan for you and send directions.
