[Peyton-observing] Observing Oct 10

[Robert J. Vanderbei]

I'd be happy to contribute.   Here's a talk I gave a few years ago…

http://www.orfe.princeton.edu/~rvdb/tex/talks/astrocon07/AstroPhotography.pdf

I think many of the slides there could be useful for a Peyton presentation.

Hi all,
This is a great idea! Thanks for suggesting it. How about if each of us puts together 5 or 6 slides and then we merge all of those? We could cover anything from basics about the night sky, objects you could have seen through our telescope had the weather allowed, a day in the life of an astronomer, etc, etc. What do you think?
Best,
Elisa

Hi, All:
The public observation this week (rain date) didn't happen in the end.
This week the weather was exactly inverse of what happened last week.
It was cloudy till 5:00pm and the forecast said it would be cloudy during the night
so we called cancel (it cleared out dramatically at 7pm though).
I think that we put together a Plan B so that we can open in the cloudy occasion (thanks to Pete's suggestion).
Nice pictures and videos in GC or auditorium room would be a good choice.
Best wishes
Chelsea

Can you reply to the list and let people know the observing did not take place in the end?
Thanks.

Thanks, Brandon and Chelsea. By all means try again next week.
