Dear fellow photon collectors:
The RTMC Astronomy Expo is trying an experiment with an Internet broadcast of one of the workshops this Memorial Day Weekend. With the assistance of Meade Instruments, we will have a pseudo web cast of Jerry Hilburn's "Imaging with the Canon Digital Rebel, DSLR Focus and Meade 10" GPS" workshop on Saturday morning from 10:30 AM PST to 11:30 AM PDT.
Since the Astronomy Expo is held at a YMCA camp in the San Bernardino Mountains, a broad band connection sufficient to stream audio and video is not available. The camp is still waiting for the fiber optic cable network to find its way into the national forest. However, Meade Instruments is lending their conferencing network which will allow an audio track to be streamed across a normal land telephone line using Microsoft Media Player. Jerry's PowerPoint Presentation will be on the RTMC Astronomy Expo's website. Go to http://www.rtmcastronomyexpo.org/webcast.htm for links to both the audio track and the PowerPoint presentation. Click on the audio link which should bring up Media Player, minimize Media Player and then click on the PowerPoint presentation loading it into Internet Explorer. The presenter will queue you when to advance to the next slide.
As mentioned, the broadcast will be live between 10:30 and 11:30 AM PDT.
If you miss the workshop, it will be archived on the RTMC Astronomy website sometime in the following week.
