Just wanted to thank all of you who braved the cold and found the new location for our meeting! It was well attended with many current members and several visitors and new members! Floyd gave a great presention with the Stellarium software and Scott another winner of a powerpoint on how to find an object in the sky… i.e. Setting Circles / Dead Reckoning / Star Hopping.

If you attended you know what I mean, and if you couldn’t make it, we’re working on getting the powerpoints on the website with narration, so stay tuned.

We didn’t get to the “Show-N-Tele” portion of the night due to time constraints and the need to get out of the library by 9pm. On that subject. if you’d like to give some feedback on the meeting place, there is a topic in the forums at:

http://www.csastro.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3303 where we are discussing the meeting space.

We’ll get a post here on the next meeting when we know more than the date…

Our next meeting will be held on Tues, January 26th, 2010 from 7-9pm at a NEW location!
Rockrimmon Library
832 Village Center Dr,
Colorado Springs, CO 80919

This is our annual Show-n-Tele meeting.  Bring all the goodies you acquired at Christmas (and the months before) to show off to your fellow star gazers.
