The Chicago Astronomer and the Chicago Astronomical Society exchange links
Both our organizations have been passing each other from time to time.
Recently, the Chicago Astronomer was approched to speak at the great 2006 Astrofest that the Chicago Astronomical Society hosts, but regretably, scheduling prevented me from accepting the invitation. I am honored and humbled to have even been considered and hope to have another opportunity in the future.
Also, both the CA and the CAS shared a joint observation session outside of the Adler Planetarium after their July meeting. We opened our scopes, shared our love of the skies to the public and had a great time. We plan on conducting more joint sessions in the future.
It was at this session that we established relationships and agreed to a link exchange. Please do visit their site for complete information on the AstroFest activities, where astronomers and their scopes come from all around to share in the night sky, and a whole lot more.
Ain't it fun being an Astronomer?...
