MAS Member Discussion Roundtable

Due to a conflict created by our Moon Over Monona Terrace star party on Sept. 13th, the regular September monthly meeting will take place on Friday, September 6th. There will be no guest speaker presentation at this meeting. Rather, we will have a moderated discussion among all those present. Topics can include:

Preparing for a large public event: Our upcoming “Moon Over Monona Terrace” event is one of the largest star parties in the midwest. Are you ready for hundreds of people wanting to look through your telescope?

Back in the Astronomical League: MAS recently rejoined the AL 30 years after quitting. Do you have thoughts?

Welcome of new members and visitors: have you only recently joined the MAS? This is a chance for us to meet new members and visitors (and get your questions answered!).

Other topics – as raised by attendees at the meeting – will be discussed as time permits.

This meeting will take place in person at our usual Space Place classroom location. It will also be streamed live to our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@madisonastronomicalsociety.
