0 people. For the umpteenth time this winter, weather has forced us to stay at home. @#$%$@*&^%$!!!I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about a few changes in the website which may help you. The weather map has been converted from a rain/snow map to a cloud coverage map. You can reach it directly from the home page button for Weather. The Telescope Booklet which can be found by following the sequence of Courses&Materials - Scopes Link - Scopes Materials starting on the home page. The two most significant changes are the additions of two appendices which describe telescopes by type (for example what is a Dall-Kirkham or a Ritchey-Chretien telescope) and describe eyepieces (for example what are the differences between a Konig and a Plossl).The date of the "Black Holes" talk has been moved from Friday March 16th to the following Friday - March 23rd. Les Coleman's schedule would not permit the originally scheduled time. We will hold the "Black Holes" talk from 8 to 9PM rain or shine. Of course, should the weather be dangerous (icy or what have you) the talk will be rescheduled again.I will be turning my duties at the website to a couple of other folks. Many thanks to them for covering while I am away.-Les Coleman
