Hello everyone: The September general meeting of the Salt Lake Astronomical Society will be held on Tuesday, September 26th at 7:30pm. The meeting will be held at the Salt Lake County Government Center, 2001 S. State Street, North Building. The special guest speaker this month will be Richard Erwin from the College of Eastern Utah in Price. Prior to his teaching in Price, Mr. Erwin was well known for his years of astronomy instruction at Westminster College in Salt Lake City. Mr. Erwin will offer a PowerPoint presentation all about astrophotography. It will begin with a brief discussion of film, and move quickly into CCD imaging. He will talk about the relative advantages and disadvantages of each, and will include representative images from various aspects of the two mediums. He will mention FASTAR as he has images taken with that system. He will end up the talk with a discussion of various computer software processing techniques, again with appropriate photos to illustrate the points. Mr. Erwin's biography can be found on the SLAS website at www.slas.us. Please come and join us for this interesting and informative evening. Lowell Lyon, President The Salt Lake Astronomical Society
