October Monthly Meeting - Amateur Contributions in the Era of Surveys
Dr. Arne Hendon, Director, AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers)
Thursday, Oct 9, 2008 at 8:00 PM

A century after the famous Harvard Sky Patrol, there is renewed interest in all-sky surveys.  Commercial CCDs and telescopes make this possible at modest cost for bright objects, and large, wide field professionalsystems like PanSTARRS and LSST extend coverage to fainter magnitudes.

The question has been raised: where can amateurs contribute scientifically with this level of competition?  The AAVSO has been carefully monitoring the situation, and this talk will highlight the many areas where amateur observations are useful today and will remain so into the forseeable future.


Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting.
