AMATEUR ASTRONOMER SURVEY
Marni Berendsen, of ASP and the Navigator team at JPL has an Astronomy Concepts Survey available and is asking for SSA amateur astronomers to participate. Following is a message from Marni and the link to her survey:
"Complete this new Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) survey and have a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to the ASP Catalog! You can assist in developing training and materials for amateur astronomers to help the public understand concepts of astronomy. In addition, we are collecting your experiences with any astronomy misconceptions you have come across in your encounters with the public. Access the survey at:
http://fs8.formsite.com/astrosociety/AstroSurvey/index.html
As an added bonus, if you belong to an astronomy club and 15 or more of your club members respond to the survey, you will receive your club's responses (no names will be included). This could help in planning programs for your club and can serve as a topic of discussion at a club meeting. Just have your members put your club's full name on the form where they enter their name for the drawing."
Marni indicated that any astronomy club wishing to do so may add the link above to their club website.
