Shaken, not stirred?

Last winter I showed off the SCORE setup at the monthly meeting of my astronomy club. Bob Naeye, Editor in Chief of Sky and Telescope, was at the meeting and took special interest in the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston’s cooperative participation with the MIT Planetary Astronomy Lab’s research on Kuiper Belt Objects. Bob later contacted me to ask more about the equipment that I put together for asteroid occultation timing, so I pointed him to my article on SCORE and sent him a photograph. Yesterday I received an advance copy of July’s Sky & Telescope, which features a prominent mention of the MIT/ ATMoB connection and a photograph of me with SCORE as I prepared for the 20000 Varuna occultation event in Brazil.
