[Chicago Astronomer - Astro Joe]

- Epsilon Aurigae Conference at the Adler Planetarium -
Chicago
August 4-7, 2009

The epsilon Aurigae Conference has adjourned.

Four days of jam packed data and information on observing, recording and sharing this 27.1 year eclipsing phenomenon, not only within the astronomical community among ourselves, but with the general public in outreach efforts.

A full detailed narrative, (along with loads of pics and interviews) is coming soon, but for now - just a small sampling of the gathering... and the Chicago Astronomer is honored to be in attendance with esteemed professional and independent astronomers from throughout the world and from varied levels of discipline.

I will notify readers via tweets on the story as it develops:

Astronomers are a great bunch of people.

Hi Joe;

Could we get a high-res version of the group photo? I was at the meeting and would like to be able to get a good quality print.

Thanks.

Oy...!

In the rush to take the pic before our workshop started......I did not increase the size of the image exposure, (I did plan to, really - dummy me), and the shot is as it looks.

Sorry on the limited sized pic.
