Re: 14.Mar.12 Jones Planetarium

Hey Rob,

Is March good for you? If you want to try out any hardware or software before
the 14th, we can do a dry run. We have access to Jones any school day until nine
or so. We have a VGA cable to the video projector and a 3.5mm stereo plug for
the sound system. I believe that the maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 with the
projector.

Tom S. has kindly offered to lead the Sky Tour. He is a great storyteller and
knows the sky very well. It's always a special treat when he comes all the way
down from Middlesex to share the joy of astronomy with us. Thank you, Tom.

Anyone want to grab din-din before or after?

Thank you, Rob. I'm really looking forward to your talk. George promotes our
talks if we give him a title and little abstract. Thank you, George.

Clear Dark Skies,
Bird
