Yes. ?Unfortunately true, Amy. Despite the risky forecast, 14 TAAS and SAS members showed up at Salt Meadow last Saturday. ?Maybe 5 or 10 objects got observed between the clouds, but it was great to

Thanks, John. It seems like we schedule a bunch of outreach events but most are canceled due to poor conditions. Very frustrating. Amy

The July issue of Sky and Telescope Magazine has a great article on public outreach. Since TAAS does a lot of this I thought I’d let everyone know. Worth reading!

My apologies,? TAAS. I don't know how the TAAS email got into my list to email. Of course you are all welcome to attend. Parking will be a premium this weekend but the attendance will be
