See below. I guess the correct thing to do is print a correction in the next issue. Mojo -- Morris Jones <*> San Rafael, CA mojo@whiteoaks.com http://www.whiteoaks.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 16:34:16 -0700 From: Lotus Baker To: ephemeris@sjaa.net Subject: problem with an article in volume 12 # 8 I would like to ask for a correction to be made in regards your otherwise good article about the eclipse over Zambia. The author refers to Shiloh Unruh as Dr. and as a former astronomer from Mount Hamilton, he is neither! His Doctor is from the Universal Life Church and he was a guide and part-time maintenance man with a huge interest in the history of the observatory until he made too many claims such as this. I get your newsletter to post in the Gift Shop which is how I came to see the article. I have worked at Lick as a guide for 22 years and Shiloh has been around all of that time and used to work for me. I am making this request as myself and not the observatory, because the observatory would not like to get embroiled with him again. But it seems unfair to the many astronomers who spend years of time to get a doctorate degree to advertise this one fraud to the innocent amateur astronomer public. I am sure that his video was great, I just wish he would quit with the Dr and former astronomer stuff!

Yet one more tid-bit explaining why postal workers sometimes go, well, "postal." :) I'm in another club that had this same thing. I'll ask around how they handled it...

Why is there a need for a press release? The event has been announced in the Astronomy Magazines and to the Astronomy clubs of California. This event has been promoted to astronomers as a star party more like TSP than the Davis Star Party. If public is invited and the event gets public coverage, people will come with white flashlights, garbage and toilet needs. People will come from the 10:00 o'clock news, with blaring cameras to film it for the news programs. The strict "no-lights" zones mentioned on the website will be compromised. If dozens or hundreds or thousands show up there are alot of additional things to consider, like trash receptacles, porta-potties, parking, red flashlight requirements, hours for the public, volunteers to herd people, etc. As much as I love public star parties, I assumed when I signed up for Cal Star that it would not be a public star party.

Were I to be there, I'd be wide open to visitors at my scope, but a general public invitation will swamp the facility. I see mention of a possible school group -- has that been decided?

What kind of star party is this? Is it to be a public star party or a dark site star party for astronomers? IMO, it can't resonably be both. At Houge or a school star party, fine, bring the folks on, the more the better. But at a dark site where we may be doing astrophotography or whatever, I for one don't like having to deal with big wild crowds in a party mood, camp stoves or other heat sources, white lights, and whatever else the unwashed masses can dream up. So, decide: what kind of star party is this? Then do things accordingly. Gary From north at znet.com Wed Aug 22 13:28:57 2001 From: north at znet.com (Dave North) Date: Sat Sep 30 03:57:13 2006 Subject: [SJAABoard] AAVSO Donation Message-ID: <3B841609.6D017AEE@znet.com> The AAVSO has donated a cdrom/booklet on variable star observing to the SJAA California Star Party for the raffle/giveaway. If there is no raffle/giveaway at the CSP, it is to be considered a donation to the club. Since I am unfamiliar with the details surrounding the CSP in this regard, I will simply forward the package to Gary Mitchell today as part of my bi-monthly delivery of General Stuff. Further details I leave to the board.

Recently we've seen prints and some electronic presentations, too. Drop the projector off at my place when convenient. We're usually here, but call just in case, 408-371-1307. If that's continuously busy I may be internetting; then call the hot line 408-559-1221. When the message starts, push a key on your phone of a second or two. The outgoing message will stop, and you can leave a message. If I'm sitting here I'll pick up the phone. -- Jim Van Nuland, San Jose (California) Astronomical Association JVN's home page
