SSAS July 2005 Monthly Meeting

We were privileged in July, to have one of our newer members, Neil Fleming, give a phenomenal lecture, on his abilities, in Astrophotography. I think a lot of our members and guests were pleasantly surprised at what you can produce with a little no-how and not necessarily alot of money.

Thank you Neil for a fantastic presentation.

We then conducted our business meeting, covering several topics. First, a reminder to everyone to R.S.V.P. to Louis as to whether they will be attending the annual club cookout and how many will be coming. Second, it was decided that because we advertise on our web page, that we will be at Centennial Field, twice a month for viewing sessions, that some of us, shouldn't be going to other sites on those dates. We can go to other sites on Fridays or Sundays on those assigned weekends. Changes to this protocol may be forth coming, depending on upcoming discussions about the web page. Lastly, it was brought to our attention that Paul Grueter may be over worked dealing with the web page and maybe he could use a break and someone else take over the job. As it turns out, we may have two members who would take over the job. This subject will be taken up again, at our next board meeting, before the July cookout.

All we need now is a long spell of clear dark nights, to give us more viewing nights, than we have had in the past. All in all, an enjoyable and productive meeting.
