| This month’s speaker will be long time member Mario Motta who will be talking to us about his recent trip to Italy to oversee the installation of the mirror he donated to the AAVSO to be placed on permanent loan at the Schiaparelli Observatory. Mario has been building large telescopes for some time now starting in 1983 with a 16" Newtonian, quickly followed by a 32" (using the mirror now residing in Italy) and then a second 32" telescope but with significant improvements over his first. Please join us for his interesting account of the life of his first 32" mirror - past, present and future.
Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting. |
