Wednesday, October 10th - Triple Conjunction
Our evening departure from NRAO at Green Bank, WV found us waking up in the town of Elkins, WV, about halfway to our destination of Wheeing WV to attend the Triple Conjunction Planetarium Convention. This convention consists of 3 annual planetarium association conventions that meet on a regular basis as a group. Hence, its name, Triple Conjunction.
The association are the Southeastern planetarium association, the Mid-Atlantic planetarium society, and the Great Lakes Planetarium Association. Here we caught up with our planetarium partners to begin putting the final touches on the planetarium script, and to discuss the technologies that we will debut in this internationally distributed planetarium show. It was also a chance for us to hear various speakers on astronomical subjects, and see planetarium shows.
The 2 days allowed us to focus on this key portion of our ambitious plan of tying the HD TV documentary to the planetarium and telescopic experience. We had a great time; it was nice to catch up with our partners, and meet new friends. We will make sure we attend the next Triple Conjunction Convention.
