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 2007 March 17 are '070317a' and '070317v'. 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. = = = = = audio-video files for current and previous two Seminars
