[Jon Stewart-Taylor]

Hi all.  Could you kindly send me an e-mail if you'd be interested in  
personally participating  (as presentor -or- as participant)  in any  
of the activities below for Astronomy Day on May 2nd? These are some  
of the types of things i've thought of so far.

Please respond, either directly to me or on the list.  I want to hear  
from you regardless of  whether you're a CHAOS member, whether you'd  
be helping  or just attending,

Please feel free to spread this e-mail beyond the e-mailing list, to  
anybody in the Triangle area who you think would be interested.

    1) Solar observing
         a) projection
         b) filter
         c) imaging

    2) Light trespass reduction education session
         a) at home
         b) at large

    3) Art/craft-style activities

         c) electronic imaging

If you've got an activity you're interested, but it's not listed  
here, please don't hesitate to tell me about it.

I'm not expecting we'd be able to do even a fraction of all of these,  
especially with with the date only 3 weeks away.  I'd just like to  
get a feel for where the interest lies.

Thanks.

J.
