The December meeting/Christmas Dinner at Spring Creek Barbeque was a big hit! Thanks to Danny Arthur for arranging it. We had a room to ourselves, and quite a crowd. We dispensed with the usual meeting format, and went straight to the food! The closest we came to conducting any sort of business was passing out 2002 Observer's Handbooks (there are a few left--see Tres Ross to get one) and a spirited demonstration of MP Daniels' new digital camera! The photos at right are complements of Mike. For a more astronomically-oriented display of Mike's new digital camera's capabilities, go to the next page to look at a great shot of December's partial eclipse!
The speaker for the January 17th meeting is our very-own noted Astronomical Society of the Pacific corresponding lecturer Tres Ross. Tres will wax eloquent on the Andromeda Galaxy, armed with lots of pictures of that galactic jewel that we enjoy so much. At dinner under intense questioning he claimed to have visited it, so come find out if you believe it! Otherwise he will have to rely upon the excellent materials that the ASP provides for just such an occasion.
