Hi folks,
Thank you! We have met and exceeded the fund raising goal of $6,700 for the AAVSOnet spectroscopic system. Along with the match, we have raised $20,000 for the dedicated OMI 20" f/9 classical cassegrain, MEII, and Lhires spectrograph. Gary Walker has donated his UVEX spectrograph. Arne Henden donated his Software Bisque pier. John Fisher has offered his PrimaLuce Eagle 6 to run the system. It’s all being installed in the observatory that Mike Paoletti has built for AAVSOnet systems. Really fantastic. I can’t say how much I appreciate everyone’s generosity and how excited I am about this new AAVSO capability and opportunity.
Thank you!
Walt
