Good news everybody! With thanks to Mark Peterson, we were able to paste together an audio channel to the video of Mike Shaw's virtual presentation. The video is now posted to the MAS YouTube Channel. The audio/video sync is not perfect, but hopefully adequate. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/9m...

Re: NNSF

Mike - when you check in, discuss it with the Committee people there. Depending on the amount, there might be room in the garage to store it - otherwise the best bet it to store it in your bunkhouse room. There should be carts and wagons available to help move things, and people willing to help! Valts

Re: Venus Transit follow-up

I set up my C-11 at Tamarack Nature Center in White Bear. About 25 or so passers-by caught the transit, and I was able to get some shots myself.
