lots of interest in SN

My announcement on the Yahoo!Group regarding the last couple of seats in the Stellarium course was something of a catalyst. A number of members piped up saying that they'd like to take a Starry Night course or workshop, if one was offered.

Not the first time we've heard this.

This time though, Eric said he might do something about it. He reminded members that he works with Starry Night as a "planetarium trainer." He also said that he'd be "enthusiastic about helping to lead a Starry Night workshop in the future." All right!

It would be awesome if we held workshops on the various popular software tools. There's been requests for imaging processing topics. I've been promising Stellarium level 2 and SkyTools level 1. And I think we could offer something on TheSky6 as well... We certainly have the talent. It's the time issue though. The course preparation is not trivial.
