... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ... The telescope system (MILT) will be remotely operable with an on-site operator's assistance by an astronomer located at one of the ARC member institutions. ... Mean Wind Speed . ...

PROGRAM Welcome Dear Colleague, Welcome to Tucson and to "Building Community: The Emerging EPO Profession." On behalf of the Board of Directors, the staff, and the members of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), I want to thank you for participating in this important international gathering of astronomy and space science education and outreach professionals. As you may know, the ASP has been holding annual meetings for 117 years. Since our founding in 1889 by Edward Holden, the first director of
