NOVAC Event Calendar

This meeting is cancelled due to weather – Elections will be held in January and “Show and Tell” will be booked for another time in the future.

NOVAC Members,

Our next meeting will be Sunday Evening, December 8, 7:00 pm with an equipment “show and tell” event with NOVAC members bringing their astronomy equipment for others to see.  You will be able to talk with the equipment owners about how and why they use what they have for observing.  We will meet in Room 163,  Research Hall, George Mason University. Check the web page, http://www.novac.com/meetings/, if you need directions and details.

We are looking for members to bring their equipment like last year.  Email webmaster@novac.com (and the list for that matter) to let us know what you are planning on bringing.

Also, bring along whatever you use to power your equipment (unless it is your automobile!) so that attendees can see the creative ways folks get power to their scopes and mounts and accessories.

If you are setting up equipment to show, please try to arrive between 6:15 and 6:45 to setup your things.

We will also have light refreshments in the spirit of making this a social event to honor all of our volunteers that served NOVAC so well during the past year.

We will elect officers for 2014 at our December NOVAC Meeting.  Candidate nominations have been received for each position.  If you wish to run for one of the officer or trustee positions, please self-nominate by emailing your desire to do so at this email address:  elections@novac.com

We look forward to you coming to attend this fun NOVAC meeting!

NOVAC’s Byron Bergert Image Processing Group will hold its (Almost) Autumnal Equinox Processing Party on Saturday September 6 from 1-5pm at the Thomas Jefferson Library in Falls Church, on Route 50 just inside the beltway. Same agenda as last time: none. Just bring yourself, your data, a laptop for processing, and/or your questions about imaging. Come when you like, leave when you like. We’ll hang out as long as we have patience for, process images, and talk about imaging.

A suggestion from some folks who were there last time: if anyone would like to bring a projector for a laptop, that could stimulate spontaneous demonstrations! (PixInsight, anyone?) Hope to see you all then.
