AAAA Attends ASTROCON 99
July 13-17, 1999
The Astronomical League Convention
Sponsored by the Spokane Astronomical Society
Astronomy in the Inland Northwest
 ASTROCON 99, hosted by the Spokane Astronomical Society, took place on the
campus of Eastern Washington University, in the small town of Cheney, Washington, 20 miles southwest of Spokane,
during the week of July 13-18, 1999. Over 300 enthusiastic amateur astronomers laughed at the antics of Bill Nye
the Science Guy, thrilled at the space photos of astronaut F. Storey Musgrave, and were awed by the superb three-color
images of Australian astrophotographer David Malin. Dynamic speakers, exciting displays, and well-stocked astronomy
vendors made the convention a big success.
Read our report of all the goings on, from Council meetings, to guest speakers, to night-time
observing sessions. Then, join us again as we continue to expand our coverage of this great convention.
