I'm collecting the homework for Saturday's event.
Here's what we will do. I will format it tomorrow and send it out by email
to everyone attending Saturday's event, or who have supplied their homework
assignment to me. This way we all benefit from the research done by the
group.
Then, Saturday at the event, after the initial stuff we normally do, and
after viewing anything that is bright in the sky, moon, planets, etc. we
will then turn to these objects on the list. And what I'd like to have each
of you do, is pick from your list, one of the items you wish to show
through your scope and show everyone how to get there. I can help you with
the star hopping part of this task.
So, let's say that Kevin chooses to do M31. Several others may also choose
that object. We will talk about the data collected by the class attendees,
like a GET TO KNOW Andromeda... and we will view ti through that person's
scope and then star hop to it. Right now, we have a small class, so i'm
guessing that it will be easy to have each of us lead the way to one object
from our homework list. One object, you chose... so you won't be doing
Hercules Globular cluster if it wasn't on your homework assignment you
submitted to me. I'd like to view everything on the list and it can be
through all scopes, or just the one who picked it, or maybe we can have
Eric, if he attends, show us all of them, through his scope, after the
original class member shows it through theirs.
It would benefit everyone if they would do the star hopping to find the
objects we are sharing on this night. So, if we look for Perseus Double
Cluster, and Don put it on his homework, then we will share the data about
it, and hopefully learn more about each object as we go through the class.
Now for those of you who want to be sure to pick your favorite object of
the 3 you sent me, go ahead and *sign up for one of the objects on your
list via return email to this message. *
Just put in your email
Don Boyd: Hercules Globular Cluster
and i will mark that as *the object you find *when it is your turn to find
your object, and we will all share the info we discovered about the object
and maybe Eric, if he is there, will show us it in his scope before we move
on to the next object (I randomly picked an object we are all familiar
with, i don't' know if it is visible this night, it was just an example).
So, send your object now. And if someone grabs your object before you do,
(read through the replies to the list serv) then chose one of your other
objects to share that night. One class member per object, please.
This is exciting. I'm very much looking forward to Saturday's event.
Let's learn a bunch of stuff. And we will have a few newbies there, and a
few folk without telescopes, and they can just view the objects between the
different scopes. This is a PAS Members Only event. No guests. Welcome
David!
Terri, Event Coordinator
