About the General Meeting Presentation

On the morning of August 20 I set up for the Moon and was rewarded with both the scope acting good and the local seeing settling down for about half an hour to the best I have ever had here in San Antonio. The result was image resolution that shows craters as small as one kilometer. I finally had time to prepare a web page for these images and have it up at http://www.robertreeves.com/Moon20Aug2011.htm.

Parking and Directions (View Map)

Meetings are held in the Science & Research building at the University of Houston Main Campus. The novice meeting is in room 116, the general meeting is in room 117.

Do not try to park around any of the old parking lots due to the construction on the new parking garage. Drive a short distance down Cullen to Parking lot 15D or 15F which is were they have moved the staff parking lot (the gates will be open). DO NOT PARK IN ANY OF THE ASSIGNED STAFF PARKING SPACES; The assigned staff parking spaces will be noted like the old parking lot with number parking painted on the ground. Normally, this will be the FIRST and SECOND rows. Jefferson stadium is the home stadium for the Houston Dynamo soccer team and on Friday nights of their home games please let the parking attendant know you are there for the HAS monthly meeting and you wont have to pay parking.
