Good afternoon Astronomers! We have an Astronomy Open House tonight in ERAU's COAS building from 8-11 PM. Dr. James E. T. Channell will be delivering a talk titled "Measurements of the Earth's Ancient Magnetic Field" which runs from 7-8 PM.
Unfortunately due to expected weather tonight, we will not be setting up telescopes in the Quad and will instead have multiple telescopes as well as our astrophotography rig in COAS Room 128.1 where our tech director and astrophotography chair will be providing information about the telescopes we use.
We will have AAC's and our joining club's demonstrations set up throughout COAS including the SARA Remote Observatory viewing sessions and our usual 1-meter telescope tours.
