You Can Almost Touch the Stars Presented by Tom Field, Field Tested Systems
Tom will be conducting a workshop on spectroscopy. He’s the author of the RSpec software. Have a look at the web site. There are videos, tutorials and other resources available which will better prepare you for the presentation and help with some questions you may have for Tom at the meeting.
Sky & Telescope magazine published Tom’s article on spectroscopy in August of 2011. And they have awarded his software their “Hot Product 2012.” Tom is a popular speaker who has appeared at many different venues, including NEAIC, PATS, WSP, AIC and others. His enthusiastic style is lively and engaging. He promises to open the door to this fascinating field!
