Audio-Video files for NYSkies Semiinar
This page holds the audio-video files for our stay-home Seminars.
Each Seminar has two files, named with the issue date (yymmdd), ending
with 'a' or 'v'. 'a' is the audio file; 'v', video. For a made-up
example, the files for our inaugural Seminar of 2005 March 17 are
'050317a.mp3' and '050317v.ppt'.
Download the files to your computer for playing. Playing them
directly from the web can cause chatter,skips, freeze. Storing the files
locally also allows you to play them away from the net and frees them
for others to download. You may play the files at any time, not
just on the issue date.
Set up the video file for its first picture and then start
playing the audio file . The audio file prompts you
to scroll to the next picture in the video file. The
pictures are numbered for reference during the Seminar and
for questions or comments afterwards.
While there is n o live interaction with the sessions, you can
put questions and comments to me thru the NYSkies email group at
nyskies@groups.io
Besides myself, the other astronomers in the group may handle your
inquiry.
To subscribe to the group, send an empty email (any text in it,
including the subject, is ignored) to
nyskies+subscribe@groups.io
The group is a general discussion forum for home astronomy, and
not only for handling Seminar inquiries. Please put your notices and
astronomy-related notices, news, questions there.
The files for the current and previous two Seminars are in this
page below. Older ones are moved to offline storage. Be sure to keep
those you want to play again in the future.
