THAT Section (formerly Astropolitics) 
 -----------------------------------
    With the brouhaha within Amateur Astronomers Association shifted 
to the AAA_Politics Yahoo forum, NYSkies no longer promotes that 
business here. Of course, any news about the club posted into NYSkies 
can be 'political'. If that's your take, get over to AAA_Politics and 
bellow! It's just as free for all and free-for-all as NYSkies 
allowed until AAA_Politics was created on 2004 June 29. 
    The red-hot item is the NYSkies Astronomy Seminar, a new service 
of the NYSkies maillist in Yahoogroups. Because the bulk of maillist 
members are in or near the City, it evolved that they have a more 
personal climate for their astronomy than only the onscreen contact. 
    The inaugural Seminar on march 17th was a runaway success! The 
sessions continuw on a regular schedule on the first and thrid 
Thursday of each month. See the entries for April 7th and 21st. They 
are free and open to all. Bring your astronomy, your questions, your 
cheer and spirit, as only a New York astronomer can do! 
    At Amateur Astronomers Association, the Observing Group became a 
'no-politics' zone at its March 26th meeting. NYSkiers Richard 
rosenberg and John Pazmino agreed that the OG is off-limits for the 
abusive and hostile climate of the club leadership. Richard is the new 
chair of the OG, following from outgoing chair Bruce Kamiat. 
    What? Your fat is boiling over these items? Step right over to 
AAA_Politics. The folk there, including some club leaders, are itching 
to turn up the heat under you. 

NYSkies 
 -----
    Astronomers are exploiting NYSkies as a quick, handy, friendly, and 
potent source of astronomy news relating to the City. And there is 
LOTS of astronomy stuff going on around New York! Since it revived on 
28 September 2001 (it was interrupted by World Trade Center) NYSkies 
became the definitive forum and public record for matters bearing on 
home astronomy in and around New York. 
    Joining NYSkies is easy. Send an empty email to this Yahoogroup 
maillist at 'nysky-subscribe{at}yahoogroups.com'. Its posts are sent to 
you in your email and you post to it by email. It's that simple! 
    Or you may go to 'groups.yahoo.com/group/nysky'. If you are already 
signed up with Yahoo, you go and sign in and then 'join' NYSkies. If 
not, you have to go thru a silly 'registration' that's a oneshot 
chore, valid for all groups you may eventually join. The files area of 
NYSkies are accessible only thru the website.
