If I'm ever in a tux you'll know I'm dead. Actually, I have no objection to purely astronomical demos as long as they are not basic. For example, OAS had me demonstrate on a projection screen how to process images (I would volunteer Tyler for that one). Looking at telescopes, firers, gear and images would be great also. But my main concern is that lining up the evening's events is the president's job and I know Rodger has been busy with his ideas for club meetings. I would support him in his plans. -- Joe ------------------------------ On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 1:26 PM MDT Chuck Hards wrote:
So much for getting the younger set interested. Pretty gray at meetings lately, I've noticed.
You're just jealous because they looked better in a tux than you, Joe. ;-)

I wasn't impressed with the R&T vaudeville routine and I think we need to keep clear that we are an astronomy club, not a high school physics class. I don't know that there are a lot of aspects of astronomy that can be demonstrated on stage other than the simplest facts, like moon phases. I would rather learn something about galaxies that see somebody demonstrate that dry ice can deflate a balloon. -- Joe
