Hi, We went on a trip, and it appears that the list has died. :) Is everyone really being so quiet? Did anyone post anything about slastrofest? I am curious as to how that worked out. Thanks, Jo
Hi Jo, How was your trip? SLAStrofest went very considering the nasty weather we had the entire weekend. We had a great turnout despite the clouds though. We probably had as many as 50 people at one point during the day on Saturday. All the lectures were well received (even mine) and people seemed to have a good time while learning some of the ins and outs of amateur astronomy. The Star-B-Que was also a great success...no one went hungry! Another plus were the porta-johns brought up thanks to Alpine & Roger...well received too ;) Dave On Friday, July 23, 2004, at 08:20 PM, Josephine Grahn wrote:

Slastrofest was great. There was a bit of rain on Friday afternoon before I arrived, and of course it was cloudy all night except for one half hour in which I was able to see all of Scorpius and a bit of Sagittarius, but not long enough to break out a scope. Saturday morning dawned clear and sunny and we had the morning presentations without problem. By a bit after lunch it began to cloud and by 2 pm, when I and my family was forced to leave for an appointment, it began to rain again. The presentations were all great! I learned a lot! I especially liked Jim Gibson's talk on the moon, David Bennett's on navigating the sky, and a presentation done on the sun, but I apologize, I cannot remember that gentleman's name. I wish I could have stayed for the afternoon presentations and the Star-B-Que. Thanks everyone who went for making it so much fun!
