I can do Nov. 20th after my lecture. It seems that we should have at least 8 people who can do observatory duty on a bimonthly basis. With 4 people it would be...

Kurt: I understand. 11/13 is the Board meeting, which we're going to as well so we generally stick around in the PM; also, I'm expecting Dave McCarthy in the ...
Thanks, David. Jeff and I wouldn't think of missing your lecture and we're likely to be sticking around afterward so don't feel you must cover the dome that ...
David: Just FYI (and everyone else's) Jeff's a lousy correspondent. He'll talk in person or on the phone endlessly but getting him to take the time to sit...
Donna: No Problem. I suspected as much I just wanted to generate some discussion (among all interested parties) that might show some glimmer of hope that we...
Jeff and Donna, I rearranged my schedule so I can be able to attend Custer's Astronomy Class on Wednesday. Let me know what the times are. Tomorrow night, I...
Steve: Jeff mentioned he spoke to you earlier. He already spent quite a bit of time preparing for the class and planning material for either contingency (good...
David: I agree that Custer is a perfect venue for research. That was the main potential we saw when we first walked through the door. And Jeff certainly ...
Dear Mr. Cohn: Please be advised that ASLI meets every WEEK. Each Wednesday night there is a meeting, either at NY Institute of Technology or at the...
COUNT ME IN! I was in favor of observatory staff meetings for some time now, but couldn't convince Jim of the idea. I am research oriented. and education...
THANKS SAM!!! I will ask you!!! Can some of you provide any ideas for astronomical research? Steve PS. Also, as I have said many times, I'm at Custer every...
Some great Idears! Since I joined Custer I've felt that the building, equipment, and intelectual pool has been vastly under used. After reading the past posts...
I agree with Kurt that the primary mission of Custer should be educational outreach. I posted the "Research Ideas" thread (and the related hyperlinks and...
On Wednesday night I went out there to do some viewing through the C14 with the Astronomy class. I got there at 5:30, and tried out a pointing accuracy program...
Let's put the idea into action. How about an observatory committee meeting either around 7:30 or 8:00 pm, Sat. Nov. 13 (day of the Board meeting) or about...
Steve: Congratulations on your very successful class. It sounds like a good time was had by all! Donna: Obviously 11/20 is best for me. I also think it is best...
Yeah, the class had been chomping at the bit to get out and observe. The first three weeks, Jeff could only lecture because of the weather. Then, between ...
On Saturday, I arrived at Custer at 5:30. Attempted to do an alignment with MaxPoint, but I think the PC - telescope cable is defective. Will try it out with...
Steve: I'm jealous. I got out at home around 11:30 for a few minutes. I should have been out at Custer. I was too tired and had to take Silvia to a 7:30 swim...
Donna: I think this class is a great thing. Kudos to the crew! I am also curious about the kids astronomy program. How did it go? Was it well attended? I would...
On my last observation post from last night, I mentioned that I had trouble connecting my computer to the C14, and that the cable might be defective. I...
Steve: I would wager that it is the phone-type connector that is bad. Check to see that it really is a phone connector by plugging it into your phone. I think...
Hi David, I have no idea how the kids class went since I had no involvement. I believe Barbara was in attendance. As I understand it, these classes were...
It should be a 4 wire connector. I use the same setup for my Celestron mount. I have the crimper for that style connector if you need it. Mike Siniscalchi ... ...
As I recall, the Mead cable uses the same connector as a telephone handset, slightly smaller than the wall jack connector. The Celestron may be different. ...
