Note: This was originally posted as 2 parts, but a friend showed us how to get around the Garageband 30 minute limit so we reposted a single MP3 on 051007.

• Connecticut Star Party wrap up and pics from the organizers
• Visual Slides From Talk in PDF format
• AAVSO
• AAS Working Group on Pro-Am Collaboration

The first 15 minutes of the show are a walkaround of the observing field. It is followed by my talk which ran about 45 minutes. I’m distorted in the beginning but the sound gets better quickly. I recorded a summary and outtro but the dangummit 30 minute limit of GB prevented me from adding it.
