Providence, RI

Timezone:

Background/Interesting Fact:
I have previously worked at the Planetarium in the Providence Museum of Natural History and been involved in the <a href="http://www.theskyscrapers.org/">Skyscrapers</a> Amateur Astronomical Society of RI.<br />
<br />
I am interested in incorporating Citizen Sky into public programs at Ladd Observatory, outreach in the local schools and teacher workshops. Recently, I have been testing <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/vstar/">VStar</a> and plan to work on documentation and tutorials for using the software. I attended the Summer 2009 CS Workshop in Chicago and gave a presentation about VStar at the Fall 2009 AAVSO meeting.<br />
<br />
I'd like to try using a wide-field of view sky camera and also a medium resolution spectrograph for eps Aur observations.<br />
