Mike Rossetti, Treasurer
 
  • Years lived in Ohio:I have lived in Canton, Ohio for all 21 years of my

  • life.  Unfortunately, I know a sky that yields only poor viewing.
     
  • Profession (day job):I have completed two years at Walsh University, located in North Canton, Ohio.  I will have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Theology after two more years.  I plan to pursue mathematics to the Ph.D. level.

  •  
  • Years with the club: I am in my second year with the club, still a tenderfoot.

  •  
  • Club positions held: This is my only position thus far.  I have given two

  • planetarium shows, contributed an article to the Horizon (our quarterly
    publication), and help to edit our web page.
     
  • Years observing: I started learning the constellations in the Autumn of

  • 1998.  I bought my first and only scope in the Summer of 2000, after
    borrowing club scopes since Winter 1999.
     
  • Formal astronomy training: Nothing formal.  I read a lot.

  •  
  • Special projects: I like to bring astronomy to those who have no

  • acquaintance with it, which includes almost everyone who is not an amateur astronomer or an interested professor.  I particularly enjoy learning about the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
     
  • Scopes presently owned: I recently purchased my first and only scope.  It's an Orion SkyQuest 8" f/6 Dob.  It is a wonderful scope.

  •  
  • Type of observing most interested in: Everything!  Actually, I'm starting to enjoy particular objects: double stars, galaxies, clusters, Saturn.

  •  
  • Visions for the club: I love feeling that the club has much knowledge and

  • friendship to offer.  I would like the club to consider relentlessly ways to
    use it's talents.
