I was thinking of keeping a recap of local astronomy events for each year. My starting list for 2009 would include: 1) November Utah Fireball 2) LCROSS impact star party at SPOC 3) Terry Allred's Presentation on Astrophotography Techniques at the spring SLAS meeting 4) Opening of Wayne Sumner's high school observatory 5) Arrival of David Rankin 6) Patrick Wiggins acquisition of Stardust satellite passage 7) Roger Fry successful use of Meade satellite tracking software to track the ISS 8) Frisco Peak observatory 9) The Canary Group trip to Hawaii Other category ideas might be: 1) Best astrophoto not taken by Allred or Rankin 2) Best astrophoto taken by Allred or Rankin 3) Best Sky and Telescope article of the year 4) Best new astronomy book 5) Best comet of the year 6) Best observed solar event of the year 7) Other notable astronomical events of the year (eps Aur) 8) Best ATM project for the year 9) Memorable star parties If interested, please post to this thread.
