8:00PM
- Call to order and introduction of our speaker for this evening, John Crilly.
ACA member John Crilly is arguably the most knowledgeable human alive on
astronomical equipment. Years ago, John decided to attempt to own and
master
every piece of astro-gear available and has achieved this to a high level of
success.
Recently, the Sun has awakened from an overly-long period of Solar Minimum. The
news has been full of stories and images of the CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) that
occurred on Feb 14, 2011. Want to participate in solar observing?
John is going to
discuss and show examples of the options available to the amateur for doing just
this.
9:00PM - Brief coffee-break
9:15PM - Business meeting

● Treasurer's Report:
