Post by Sureshks »

Hi everybody,

Just a reminder that the March B-SIG meeting will be on Saturday March 11th from 9:30am-11:30am at the Ethel Berry Room at Southdale Public Library.

-- Address: 7001 York Ave. South Edina, MN
-- Phone: 612-543-5900

This month's topic is: What's A Deep Sky Object

We will be exploring the various kinds of deep sky objects, what's they're made of, what gives them their shapes and color, and their sizes and distances.

The presentation includes many excellent deep sky images provided by MAS members Valts Triebergs and Nick Hartman. It is focused on beginner level amateur astronomers, but there's enough material to interest intermediate ones as well...

As always, if you have a telescope you help learning how to set it up and/or use... bring it along and we'd be happy to take a look at it.

So come join us! If you're planning to come, please drop me a note at: sureshks1@msn.com

Best regards,

Suresh Sreenivasan
