RE: Public talks on TASS

["Gutzwiller, Michael" <mgutzwiller@lanvision.com>]

One thing I have is a color picture of BP Virginis.  It was made by
using the V image for both the Green and Blue channels and the I image
for the Red channel.  It's less hokey than it sounds and I can put it up
on the Cincinnati TASS site today.

Come to think of it Tom has V, R, and I filters which would make a much
better combination and BP Virginis is visible this time of year.  If
Tome could make the images available I could make a color image.

Another picture we could make is a color sequence of a large amplitude
variable.

	Thanks to Herb for a very nice outline on what to present in a
talk.  This
	is a very well thought out piece.  We would all do well to
follow Herb's
	advice.

	One thing we don't have much of is "gee whiz" images.  Anything
we show
	will look pretty bad next to even the worst images collected by
other
	amateurs.  The only place we can win is to show a long strip -
and this
	never looks like much.  Perhaps the rest of you can think of a
way to be
	more impressive.
