The Society for Astronomical Sciences and the AAVSO have recently announced their second joint spring meeting May 22 - 24 at Big Bear Lake, California. They did a joint meeting for the first time two years ago and it was great for all levels of expertise. I know its a long way from NJ from but I think it may be worth while for interested parties. Another plus is that RTMC starts on the 25th at a dark site about 12 miles away. Its a great astronomical combination. Details are just starting to come out about the meeting on both the SAS and AAVSO web sites. Nice area for a short vacation too. My wife usually joins me just for the mountain air and climate. Big Bear Lake is about 2 hours by car from either LAX or John Wayne Airport at about 7500 feet. I hope I can see some of my old observing buddies there as well as make some new NJAA friends.
