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.

Tom
