Hey Jon and StePhen,

How was CE last night.  As you know I could not make it, but I managed to do some imaging from home.  The seeing was pretty bad and I could not get a decent image using the barlow.  How did you guys do?

Hello everyone,

Soon, you’ll notice some changes in the chapter website.  We’ve just added a new “blog” and several project updates via a new web application, loaded in the background.

With this, comes a new look and feel and some interesting features.  The new look sports a background dominated by the “Horsehead” nebula, a new system of menus, a search feature and a “blog”.

We’ll be using the blog to post observing alerts (I’m using it now to post this message).  Any posts to the blog automatically post the same message to our Charlie Elliott Chapter Yahoo group.  This makes alerts available to Yahoo group members as well as anyone browsing our website.

Eventually we plan to move most of the old site to this new format, but that will be a gradual change. The main feature we’re taking advantage of with this new site is that each of the club officers and chapter members involved with projects, can do their own updates to the website.  This should present a website that is much more frequently updated and current. 

There is nothing for you to do, we’ll link the new pages in as we change them. 

Take a look at the new site, comments and ideas are welcome.  No links exist yet from the old site, but the address is easy to remember:

Thanks,

Larry

Hello everyone and welcome to the Charlie Elliott Chapter Blog! 

This section of our website can be updated by anyone!  All you need is an ID.  There is a “Blog” of course, for rolling comments about astronomy, or astronomy alerts and the site contains “pages” for project updates and links or information related to presentations given at CE.

If you have something to post, just let me know and I’ll create an ID for you.
