Hi All, Just wanted to send a note that the deadline for abstracts for the Societies annual meeting in May are due by March 14th. Please go the society's web site at www.socastrosci.org for details. The annual meeting is in Big Bear, California May 20-22, 2008. The first day of the meeting will be devoted to two workshops with MaxIm DL and ACP on the agenda. The next two days will be the technical presentations. The Keynote speaker this year will be Tim Parker from JPL, "Life on Mars: Four Years of Extended Mission Science for the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers" If you have an interest in astronomical science with amateur equipment and pro-am collaboration with that equipment, this is the meeting for you. Plus the timing of the meeting is the week before RTMC Expo being held just down the road.
