European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC
2008) to be held in Muenster, Germany, 21-26 September 2008 http://meetings.copernicus.org/epsc2008/ (Doug went to this last year in Berlin, btw) Lots of sessions on various topics. Also a dedicated session on contributions to astronomy by amateurs (I think directed towards actual astronomers, but perhaps they would engage UMSF efforts) abstracts due June 1 |

I fact I checked up with Frank Sohl, the session chair - indeed amateurs
doing work with spacecraft data are welcome, not just telescopic data Have at it - maybe see some of you there. ..................... Ralph, we find stuff related to Unmannedspaceflight.com would be well within the scope of this session as well. So, go ahead. Thanks, Frank ________________________________ Von: Lorenz, Ralph D. [mailto:] Gesendet: Fr 23.05.2008 20:04 An: Sohl, Frank Betreff: RE: Europlanet Conference #3 - Call for Papers - Session OA3 on "Solar System Observations" If you are including in amateur astronomy the role of amateurs who look at spacecraft data on the web, then I know a number of people at Unmannedspaceflight.com that would be interested (the moderator of that group went to Europlanet last year, in fact) Is this within the scope of your session ?

I've got an abstract submitted to give another talk similar to last time.

Cool! Break a leg, Doug!
Ralph's lecture title is interesting: amateur obs as well for Titanian surface changes? Will he be presenting some of the fine work done by UMSF's own imagesmiths? -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

He is talking about atmospheric changes: changes in the haze layers and cloud outbursts. Surface changes would be too small to resolve from ground-based observers.

Ah, gotcha. I was actually thinking of something like Juramike's work, or some of the other Cassini image work that's been done here.
Atmospheric obs by ground-based amateurs would be fascinating in their own right; that obviously would require some serious aperature as well as truly state-of-the-art imaging technology. (Those guys are amazing these days.) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Hey!
I'm participating to the EPSC'08 and I'm glad that amateurs are also interested about the EPSC. I (or to be exact, our MetNet team) actually have a poster in poster tent. You are all welcome to see it and ask (difficult) questions. Harri Haukka MetNet System Engineer |

The full schedule book is up - http://meetings.copernicus.org/epsc2008/ep...gramme_book.pdf
My current rough-plan for blogging is this... Monday - Phoenix and Miniature Spacecraft. Tuesday - Mercury. Wednesday - Outreach Thursday - Astrobiology and Terrestrial Analogues. Friday - Moon. If you see a paper or poster that especially interests you - let me know! Doug |

Doug it seems that the guy speaking after you cancelled, so go ahead and eat up his time
 : http://www.cosis.net/members/meetings/sess...8&s_id=6020 As far as interesting talks, I would say that the GA2 session on Monday is a must. 6-7 talks about Titan, one about the plume composition on Enceladus, and another about sodium on Europa. Not exactly boring ....

QUOTE (djellison @ Sep 12 2008, 05:37 PM)  If you see a paper or poster that especially interests you - let me know! Doug Oooh, yeah...this poster caught my eye in the T8 poster session. It definitely gives a different interpretation: P0045; EPSC2008-A-00029 Kochemasov, G. Equatorial cross-cutting ripples on Titan - regularly warped subsiding methane plains, not eolian dunes Curious to know the evidence behind it. -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
