The April 2009 Meeting will take place at CFHT on April 14th. We are fortunate to have Al Conrad, a staff astronomer with Keck Observatory with us to discuss his observations of small solar system bodies with high resolution imaging using the Keck adaptive optics systems

Mr. Conrad will present operational details and key science results from our science program, adaptive optics observations of main belt asteroids and near earth objects; as well as the technical and operational details of several Keck Solar System observations conducted by other teams: the impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter, volcanoes on Io, the Deep Impact mission to Comet 9P/Tempel, Pluto’s triple-moon system, and last weeks observation of the Earth’s moon, Luna (!).
