In-Reply-To: References: <87AE0EFFC98AB54DAB28ADD1D7DEAD221C1267@gaea.aquilonia.orb> Message-ID: <0b864d$act9b7@fipsb03.cogeco.net> Thought I'd share some highlights of tonight's Hamilton Centre meeting. Turn out was only about 12-15 folks, kind of disappointing, esp w such good content! Pres Andy presented Rising Star award to Dana, and Gold Star to past president Eric Golding - well deserved, long overdue recognition (IMHO). Stars handed out to other folks like Will Grey who served on board, and Jason for all his work (and family help) fixing up observatory site. I'm sure I've missed some details. I touched on some national business: (1) OH2013 coming soon, (2) Calendar deal - check your email for a bargain! (3) GA highlights - come to Thunder Bay next summer (4) National Bylaw work mostly done, will be voted in at next years GA (5) Hamilton Centre bylaws need to be updated and aligned Roger Hill did a great presentation of Canon camera modification for more deep red sensitivity. Joe Pipitone did a book review - quite interesting. Gary Colwell (winner of Starfest astrophoto competition) did Bass Ackward Astrophotography. Andy mentioned something about getting rid of the 16 inch scope which I didn't quite follow - expect he will say more what they are thinking as it didnt seem to make sense to me. Nominations due for the Board asap - Roger put nomination form in Orbit. Please think about committing 3 hours a month as a board member!!!! Your help is needed. Some folks went to Coachman for a beer afterward.

If your interested in going please let me know. As for the 16 RC I asked the club to question the viability of the 16" vs perhaps a C14 Edge on the Paramount? There are no plans to make any changes but to just challenge ourselves on why we have the 16" and what we could do if we sold it. Afterwards the discussion continued and it became to say the least is polarizing. Mallin cameras, Np 101is, Newtonian's .... Clearly we need to spend more time on this subject to air out the pros and cons. I already had a subject in mind for Armchair Astronomy for this Tuesdays meeting. So unless there's no objection lets start the evening off with the question, 16" what does it mean to the club? I will also stress and underline, without the manpower and concurrent successful programs in place we cannot hope to begin a new program.
