Open Forum and LAS Officer Elections
At the November meeting, we will have officer elections. Then it will be an open forum. LAS members are invited to give a short (about 10 -15 minutes) presentation on an astronomy related topic.
Possible topics
- Tell us how you are using AI to assist you with astronomy. An observing or imaging project that you are doing
- Talk about an image you have taken – what is in it, equipment used, how you processed it
- Interesting techniques you have learned about
- Great objects in some constellation or fun things to observe next month
Just about anything astronomy related that interests you will probably interest others as well
You may present in-person or via Zoom. Not mandatory, but it would be helpful, if you let Vern know that you would like to present and your topic before the meeting.
