Hola:
 Creo que es buena la idea. Habría que seleccionar lo más relevante de cada 
grupo y luego un equipo idóneo e imparcial ( ya me estoy complicando... ) elige 
una actividad de cada grupo ubicado de Norte a Sur, esto por la gran cantidad 
de act. realizadas en chilito lindo.
 ¿Cual sería el plazo máximo para enviar los reportes?

Compadre Claudio :
 
¿ Desde que fecha seria adecuado enviar detalles de actividades ? ¿ Todo el AIA 
2009 ? 
 
Tal vez  la gran cantidad de actividades podria manejarse asi :
 
a) Que cada grupo , club o persona  haga el resumen cronologico de sus 
actividades , con fotos  . Aqui el Elias necesitara varias  paginas .
 
 
 b) En cada resumen indicar claramente el nombre del Club y ademas que es 
TELESCOPERO TRG.
 
c)  Hacer resumenes verdaderamente resumidos .No detallar mucho la actividad , 
mas bien nombrarla , dar fecha , lugar , asistentes , etc . 
 
d) Hacer una lista de las actividades Grupales TRG .
Ejemplo :
-Trabajo con Escuela  de Illapel.
-Trabajo con Escuela de Quilpue 
-Trabajo con Escuela Casa Azul 
-Trabajo con Colegio Eleuterio Ramirez 
-Participacion en Escuela de Astronomia UMCE. 
-Asistencia y participacion a  Olimpiada de Astronomia
-Idem a Congreso Astronomia Escolar  
-Idem a Congreso Internacional Astronomia Aficionados.
 ¿ que se me olvida de trabajo grupal ? Por favor necesito ayuda. 
 
e) Que algunas personas de buena voluntad lo traduzcan. 
 
f) Esta no sera una presentacion muy pequeña , considerando todo lo que hacen  
en sus ciudades Elias , Samuel , Monica , Paris  , Moira , Jutre , Yerko ,etc.
 
 
 
¿ estara bien hacerlo asi ? 
Se solicitan ideas ingeniosas .
 
Que el Claudio siga preocupado en esto y que nos catetee , ya que el es el 
contacto con Donna. 
 
 
 
Saludos del Caylo.

Amigas y amigos, Donna quiere saber de las actividades telescoperas. Si alguien 
puede hacer un pequeño resumen de algunas actividades que se han hecho (ojalá 
fotos) y redactarle algo (en buen inglés, no como el mio, jeje), se le agradece.
Elías tiene harto material, Mónica también, la Olguita, las actividades en el 
Inacap.

Saludos.
Cl.

Galilean Nights in New York by Tom McIntyre  

 

  

 

 

 

 
The moons of Jupiter cooperated nicely by doing a ballet of movements to the 
left and right of the planet.

Wigg Island Community Park Event by Dave Owen, Liverpool AS 

 

We decided not to bring any telescopes as the weather looked likely to be very 
cloudy, with a forecast of lots of rain in the next few hours. Thankfully, some 
of our other members did bring telescopes! 

Read full report and find links to tons of photos!
 





Latest update on JD  

.


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


John had a great time in San Francisco; he spent a couple of nights doing 
sidewalk observing on 9th and Irving, had a birthday party with the SFAA/SFSA, 
held a cosmology class, and made a quick appearance at a star party at Land's 
End. 


 


Once we get all the photos everyone took, we'll be sure to post them on the 
website. Above photo is JD and a new friend Nebojsa from Australia

 


















Dear Claudio, 

 

 

Now that the International Year of Astronomy is drawing to a close, we'd like 
to hear your thoughts on this project. How did it affect you? Did it encourage 
your club to do more events? What do you think the legacy of IYA will be? How 
will you carry on the ideals of IYA? How can we keep the momentum going?

 

This month we have more updates from members around the world and some photos 
from the past. I found a report and photo from Owen Hoffman from last year, but 
the photo of the Grand Canyon was so good I really wanted to share it and 
thanks to Owen we also received some photos of the Sidewalk Astronomers at 
Crater Lake in 1981. 
 

We're also announcing our new Sidewalk Recognition Program and the date for 
ISAN 2010. We hope you will all take part in both of these programs.

 

The next newsletter will be in January so send in your articles and updates! 

 

Donna
 











Sidewalk Recognition Program!   



For some time we have been thinking of ways to recognize and encourage those 
amateurs who do street corner observing, and the result is this pin.  

 Error! Filename not specified.

We have program guidelines, applications, and event report forms on the 
website. The  program will start on Jan. 1, 2010 and events done from that time 
on will be eligible. 

 

Find out how to get yours!  
 





 









Grand Canyon 2007 by Owen Hoffman


I know that JD often hikes part way down the Grand Canyon before attending the 
GC star party. 
 
This Holiday Season, my wife and I headed west from Oak Ridge, TN to meet my 
sister at the South Rim.  I made my first hike down to Phantom Ranch and back 
in 20 years.  I'd like to share with you the "best" photo I've taken ever of 
this natural wonder.  It's attached. At the South Rim, it was clear but very 
cold.  It was far too cold and inconvenient to get out the telescope, which was 
in the back of our car, but I did take my sister and her boys out away from the 
lights of hotels and shops after dinner the day we finished the big hike to do 
some star gazing with binoculars and green laser.  They are from the SF Bay 
Area, and were really surprised at what was to be seen on a dry cold winter 
evening at 7000 feet elevation.   

 

To read the rest of the article and see the photo correctly - visit Grand Canyon

Updates on Sri Lanka Star Party 2009 and Bangalore's 30 Days Non-Stop Astronomy 

 

Both India and Sri Lanka are extremely active for IYA. Sri Lanka events were 
great successes! Sri Lanka had over 600 attendees PLUS students at the Star 
Party and observing was only one aspect of the event, and they have more 
planned. Check out the results and future plans!  

 

Bangalore reached over 10,000 during their 30 day outreach event. Read the Full 
Results of this Amazing Project 

 

  
 
 





 








Star Parties at Hansen Dam 

By Jerry Piro  

I am the Vice President of the East Valley Coalition and a board member of the 
Hansen Dam Advisory Board. I  was able to get permission from the City of Los 
Angeles and the Chief Park Ranger to have, working with Bob Alborzian and the 
Burbank California Sidewalk  Astronomers, star parties at Hansen Dam every 
second month.

Halloween in Old Town! by Jane Houston Jones 

 

Sidewalk Astronomers have been setting up telescopes on Halloween as long as 
there have been sidewalk astronomers! 

 

When we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, we'd cross the Golden Gate Bridge 
from home and head to the Castro District of San Francisco on Halloween. It was 
crazy! Tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of revelers flock to the Castro on 
Halloween but I think we were the only ones with telescopes!

That Halloween sidewalk astronomy tradition continues in San Francisco to this 
day. And now that we live in southern California we're carrying on the 
tradition.

Festival of Sidewalk Astronomy  by Sergey Karpov 
 



On September 26, 2009 in the Central Park of Krasnoyarsk the first citywide 
Festival of Sidewalk Astronomy was held, we decided to carry on with the 100 
Hours and hold another event in the fall. We are not afraid to say that it was 
definitely Siberia's and possibly Russia's first such event, which was attended 
by over a thousand people.

Crater Lake 1981  
Photos by Lloyd Smith 

 

We don't have a lot of information about these photos, but they are still 

a great reminder of the early days

of the Sidewalk Astronomers.











 






I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter, please submit updates on your local 
activities to be included in future editions. Send an email to 
sidewalkastronomers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "newsletter submission" in the subject 
line (this is important, we get massive amounts of email and articles won't 
make it to the newsletter without that note). As you can see, photos will be 
small so make sure that any you send represent well in this size.   
 

Please forward this email to other amateur astronomers that you feel would 
enjoy reading it and becoming part of the Sidewalk Astronomers community!

 

 Carpe Noctem... and share it!
