Here is the schedule for CMAS events through March, 2017. Highlights include:
(1) No star party in September, because so may will be at the Acadia Night Sky Festival.
(2) Business Meeting on October 29, rain or shine. The 6:00pm start time may be tweaked. This meets at Brower, because Colin needs to show us the collections stored there, so we may decide what to keep or sell. CMAS has tons of stuff from Stan Brower’s bequest and gifts received over the years. We also need to discuss ongoing maintenance of the observatory itself.
(3) Presentation at Chase Assisted Living on November 5, in the afternoon before a star party at DRA. Anyone who wants to help is welcome. The residents had requested a talk on astronomy, despite it being impractical for them to actually get outside to view the stars at night. If you want to help, drop a line to the President.
(4) A return to Galaxy Quest on November 26. This has been difficult to schedule, but we are glad to serve astronomers in that part of the realm.
