Wednesday September 11th, 7:30 pm at Kaleideum North the Forsyth Astronomical Society will have its regularly scheduled monthly meeting. The presentation topic this month is given by Jonathan Ward, NASA Solar System Ambassador from Greensboro. He successfully ran a complete 110 for 110 Messier Marathon this past March and imaged every one of the M objects in one night. The presentation will be about how he planned and executed this event. For more information on Mr Ward click his image bellow. For more information on what is a Messier Marathon click the club’s logo above.
Following the presentation portion, we will have a brief business/planning meeting and as always, there will be an informal social gathering 30 minutes or so before the meeting. Come early for the best choice of doughnuts. All meetings are open to the public, free of charge and all are welcome. Hope to see you there.
A final reminder to club members: Annual dues are now past due. You can pay them at any meeting, or by mail, address in the Contact Us tab above. Dues are $35/year for the basic membership, $40/year for a dual vote membership and our student rate is still $5/year. For anyone else interested in joining our organization, now is the prime time to do it. More information on membership benefits and our dues structure can be found on our membership info page. Don’t forget to renew your Astronomical League membership as well if you participate in that group, $7.50 additional to your FAS membership. Don’t know about the Astronomical League, ask our FAS AL correspondent member Sean Wood.
