The Chicago Astronomer listed at the Adler... « Thread Started on May 19, 2006, 10:15pm »
The Chicago Astronomer now listed as a resource at the Adler Planetarium website!
A nice surprise was brought to my attention this afternoon while readying for an observation session at the Adler this evening. I have been informed that the Chicago Astronomer has been recognized as an informal astronomical resource for Chicago area amateurs and space enthusiasts.

Hiram oldman,
Always good to see you here and I anticipate you bringing that classic orange Celestron beast to our sessions...
Thanks for the kudos and nice to listed as one of the astronomical resources in the amateur astronomy in the Chicago area.
That Nikon scope that I adopted is not mine, but an addition the Adler "re-aquired" last year. I liked it so much that I have taken upon myself to be the primary user and caretaker of the scope. The contrast and views are sweet. I think it's quite cool and Unique.
We certainly must reunite with you soon and celebrate the spring skies among the Chicago Astronomers.

Oh yeah i went to the pre show of the egyptian skys before it opened to the puplic with my bro and we ran into steve there wich was cool. I wasn't to thrilled about the show i didnt get much out of it, i dont know maybe it was because it was my first time down there during the week. I think with my new job ill be able to come down to the city alittle more buring the week we'll see. anyway it was cool to see steve there but i thought for sure you would be there joe but unfortunetly you were not .
