| OUR JANUARY SPEAKER(S)
This month, our speaker roster is comprised of a quintet of ATMoB members. Star Fields Editor Al Takeda kicks things off with a presentation that takes us to the ATMoB Clubhouse in Westford. If you’ve never been there, you’ll learn what goes on and hopefully be encouraged to drop by. If you’re a clubhouse regular, some fond memories may be in store!
Former Sky and Telescope Editor-in-Chief Bob Naeye then relates his recent trip to observe through the 100-inch telescope on Mt. Wilson. Bob notes, “The 100-inch has only recently been available for visual observing, and that is something that a lot of ATMoB members might be interested in. I can explain who to contact and how to sign up.” Imagine having access to the very telescope used by Edwin Hubble nearly a century ago!
Finally, Dick Koolish, Ken Launie, and Alan Sliski recount their recent trip to the Antique Telescope Society meeting at Lick Observatory. They’ll be talking about REAL antique telescopes – not those purchased by some of our senior ATMoB members during their early years (no names mentioned!).
Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm.
