Two notes, and a special event

My thanks to the three members of the YPL oversight board (and the invited guests) for an instructive and thoughtful conversation yesterday. I greatly appreciate your time, your decision and your feedback, and I’ll be in touch regarding various items as we discussed.

Students:
I’ll be back to my usual more varied schedule of availability in a day or two, as I finish tidying up a few loose ends. I also expect to be scheduling some practice observation times, particularly for the exam years. They’ll happen whatever the weather: if it’s cloudy, we’ll use one of the projections. Signups in my exam years first, and then they’ll be posted on the board for anyone who wants as there’s room.

A presentation:
Ms Gillian Chadwick, lead designer for the recently released Empyrean 3001 telescope, has agreed to come speak to anyone interested at Hogwarts on March 22nd. Discussion at half-seven, in my classroom, and then we’ll move outside if the weather is decent.

She’ll be discussing the telescope itself, along with the charms, runes, and arithmantic calculations involved in her design work, so there should be plenty of interest to many of you. She’ll also be bringing some of their prototype models so you can see the changes through the development cycle.
