Thanks for the SAS report, Stan. I'll take a look at the website to see if
there is any wrap-up. I may not be a member anymore since I think I rejoined
annually at the meetings, but haven't attended in a couple years. Was Gene
Lucas in attendance? He usually gives a good synopsis of the meeting.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi Wayne,
I don't have much to report on SAS. I could write about what was
presented, but that would take work since I cannot rely on my memory.
You are a member of SAS and so you should be receiving your own copy of
the Proceedings. The conference was held during the same time as the
AAVSO meeting and so some joint members, such as Arne Henden, were not
present, but there were still 100+ attendees, I think 102. There were
interesting talks, as usual. The after banquet speaker was Peter
Jenniskens. I myself doubt the meteorites he found in the Sudan came
from the shower that was observed, but it was an entertaining talk. I
guess as a sign of the economy (and maybe gas prices), Software Bisque
was not present. Usually they have a table set up and host an evening
social in one of the rooms. Olivier Thizy, from France and the President
of Shelyak, was outside in the evenings to talk about or help with
spectrometers of theirs anyone owns, but there was not much activity.
There were also not many poster papers. So, maybe it could be argued
that like RTMC the meeting was a little more low key than usual.
