Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20040203120124.00b9ea18@mail201.pair.com> A few people are asking about CalStar 2004, wanting to plan vacation time to attend. When we last discussed when CalStar dates, it was decided to have it wherever new moon falls, between mid-September and mid-October. This year, new moons fall in mid-September and mid-October - I can see dates being either Sept 16, 17, 18 (new moon is Wednesday the 15th) or Oct 14, 15, 16 (new moon is Wednesday the 13th). Koop - do you have a preference? Board members and others on this list - input?

In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20040203120124.00b9ea18@mail201.pair.com> Message-ID: Mark, We decided this last year. See the program at http://koopm.best.vwh.net/calstar2003.PDF which list the October Dates. You can also check the SJAA 2004 Calendar http://www.svpal.org/~jvn/year2004.htm which has it at the bottom of the list. (JVN, please add Calstar to the October list higher up along with the Dark Sky Weekend. You also might want to change all the Deep Sky Weekends to Dark Sky Weekends while your at it. ) Most certainly, we could have it on eather month, but since the Jewish New Year falls in September, and CalStar was in September last year, Mark and I decided to give October a try. CalStar will never be later than this year. Our plan is to schedule it between Sept 15 and Oct 15, depending on the new moon. The problem is, the closer we get to November, the worse the weather. The problem with Aug./Sept. is it is more likely to be too hot. Of course, we still can have very hot days in Sept/Oct, but it's just less likely. We figure to miss Yom Kippur about every other year, making a good compromise.

The good news is Seabury & Smith (Marsh Affinity Group) has responded and gave us a quote. The bad news is the premium is rather high. For one million in liability insurance, the annual premium will be $1067, (includes a $7 administration fee). If we go for this, coverage begins when they receive our check. This is just over the limit of how much the board authorize me to go ahead. If you'll recall, previously we had an agregate of 2 million (1 million per occurance) with $250 annual premium. $1060 is three times what amateur radio clubs are charged who get a group deal on insurance from Seabury & Smith through affiliation with their national organization ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League). We aren't involved in amateur radio, but it might be worth seeing whether there's some way we could join the ARRL or whatever and get in on their group deal. The worse that can happen is they'll say no. :) I'm also looking into the carrier that FPOA has, but nothing on that yet. I'll keep you posted.

What do they think we do that is such a high risk? Do they have history of liability with Astronomy Clubs as compared to the ARRL? I would think the number of ARRL clubs to Astro clubs is comparable. Do they know we are a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization? This looks almost identical in price to what is offered thru the AL. See the quote that was given to the SFAA in May of last year: http://www.whiteoaks.com/sfaa/minutes/mar-2003.html I phoned RV Nuccio asking as to why we were dropped. They essentially said the same things that were in the letter they sent us, that it was the national carrier that dropped us, not the broker. She also had no other recommendations on where to go, except to check with a local insurance broker. I asked Dave North how we found Nuccio. He said that they sent a flyer to the club. I have done an Internet search on "insurance broker" "san jose" "non-profit" looking for a local broker and ran across this site http://www.marq2insurance.com/marq2/non-profit-insurance.htm Of interest: http://www.marq2insurance.com/marq2/business-coverage.htm#directorsOfficers I have requested that they send us a quote for General, Directors, and Volunteer Liability. I'll wait to see what I get back. Another possibility is thru here: http://www.niac.org/dcpage.cfm?PageBaseID=50017 who should put us in contact with a local agent.

I'll be running e-mail, but perhaps not as promptly as usual. I have the new H-P video projector here at home for now. I will look for a nice carrying box or case for it. Florence suggested a battery box, like the one I use for the telescope battery. Measurements show that it is big enough, allowing about an inch of padding on the sides and two on the bottom, with enough headroom for the cables. A rope handle could be rigged to carry it with one hand. The lid is held on by a strap that circles box and lid. It would be somewhat splash-resistant, but would not pass the hose test. We'll look for something. She found a nice case for my laptop, and may find something. Meanwhile, I set it up and used the included cables to connect my VCR. The projector found the input and showed the tape, including the sound feed. The sound was not loud, but probably okay in the hall at Houge. I connected my laptop and tried some Windows and DOS-under-W98 astronomy programs, and they all worked fine, including some that used other scan rates. The projector momentarily showed the "searching" message, but found the changed video on a few tenths of a second. It converted the stereo sound to mono. With both connected, I was able to get at the Picture In Picture to work, showing the VCR in a window and the laptop on the main screen. However, I did not find a way switch which was PIP and which was main screen. The user manual (on the CD) was useless on this topic. I found the setting for bulb brightness, and set it to the lower power setting, so presumably it'll last longer. It will keep track of the running time, and warn us after 1900 hours, with increasing nags after that. Lots of stuff -- supports rear projection, ceiling mounting (inverted), keystone adjustment, electronic and mechanical elevation, video feed-thru to drive another display. It will show HDTV and DVD, but I have no way to evaluate that, but I have no doubt it'll work well. There is much to like about this unit -- clearly, it was designed by people who used what came before. It's elegant. The documentation was written by people who do not use these things, and it shows. -- Jim Van Nuland, San Jose (California) Astronomical Association JVN's home page From north at znet.com Mon Feb 16 06:51:10 2004 From: north at znet.com (Dave North) Date: Sat Sep 30 03:57:23 2006 Subject: [SJAABoard] Video projector passes inspection, JVN absence In-Reply-To: <4030815E.5E99@svpal.org> References: <4030815E.5E99@svpal.org> Message-ID: <8F131647-608F-11D8-B8C1-000393836B64@znet.com> Jim Van Nuland wrote: > There is much to like about this unit -- clearly, it was designed by > people who used what came before.

How about 25 copies of the new book or do you think we need more? I dont want to ask before hand and take orders. It takes too much time and effort. I think I can get them for about $20 a copy.
