Our Meeting Schedule – 10:30 in the BCP Theater



Tuesday, Feb 9Frank Stegemeier and Steve Kazor (www.bigriverfoundation.org) speak on the environment as it relates to rivers and the pending 69 dam projects in Chiriqui. Join us in support of river conservation. Panama's new administration has made important efforts in this area, efforts undermined by a recent Supreme Court decision. New efforts are in progress. Osvaldo Jordan of ACD is in Boquete to share the view of Panamanian environmental organizations. Talk includes a short 13 minute film.


Tuesday, Feb. 16 -- The presentation will be given by Ben Schuetz; a retired physicist/engineer and resident of Boquete since 2007.  Everyone knows what SETI is, but few know about the Optical Search for Extraterrestrials (OSETI), i.e. searching for laser signals from ETI.  The presentation will include discussions about the current rate and state of exoplanet discoveries, why after 50 years we haven't found anything, the problems of searching, laser facts, small observatory viability and what will happen when a signal is discovered. The observatory on Volcancito Rd. is dedicated to optical SETI and became operational in 2010. It has been under continuous development ever since.  Last year, a larger telescope was installed that doubled the system's sensitivity. The Boquete Optical SETI Observatory has a number of innovative features that help achieve sensitivities found only at larger observatories. During November of last year the observatory participated in a cooperative effort with SETI International, SETI Institute and the Allen Telescope Array observing a star that exhibits singularly peculiar behavior that could be related to ETI.  This too will be a topic for discussion and copies of the joint paper will be available to those interested.  Prospective attendees are encouraged to visit: http://www.optical-seti.org for additional information.
