Dick Gala announces!
Dear WAS members,
The February 2009 Macomb meeting will be held on Thursday, February 19th at Macomb Community College, Bldg B, Room # 209 at 7:30 pm. The presentation for the evening will be a given by Diane Hall and will be entitled "Lost Constellations: The Cat and the Electric Machine (things the IAU doesn't want you to see)".
It'll be an illustrated guide to many of the former constellations-- some ancient,some modern-- that failed to make the cut when the IAU formalized the skies in 1930.
Diane is a contractor for the electrical company ITC and has been interested in astronomy since her grandfather took her stargazing when she was a toddler. Diane is married to Jonathan Kade, our present WAS Secretary. She is the proud owner of Celestron Skymaster 15X70 binoculars.

Is it possible to get notes and/or presentation materials (maybe in PowerPoint?) from this meeting? Or maybe Diane will repeat the presentation during 100 Hrs event?? I find this topic FASCINATING and am sooooo sad that I missed it as did not find WAS until March 5th.
PS: THANKS FOR ADDING W.A.S. TO MEETUP.COM SO I COULD FIND THIS GROUP! :D
