Don Pettit from the ISS and NASA will be a speaker and Mr Adam Block and the Mt Lemmon Sky Center will participate. Mr Block will be hosting the ASAE's Imaging Workshop. Details to follow, but looking like it will start with a tour of the UofA mirror Lab, followed by 2 days of hands on imaging on the mountain. Looks to be a good Expo, though the time of the year is a little rough I think. Still, nice to see that many vendors participating. Hope it goes well. -- Thanks, Jay Eads “The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you. - Neil deGrasse Tyson
