Astronomer José Francisco
Salgado will
take us on a photographic tour of
astronomical research sites around
the world and will explain the
importance of these locations. We
will also enjoy magnificent vistas
of the night sky from some of the
darkest locations on Earth. Dr. Salgado
has been photographing astronomical
observatories professionally since 2008
for planetarium shows, stereoscopic (3D)
productions, and his own films. To date,
Dr. Salgado has photodocumented 30
scientific sites in remote places around
the world including the Atacama desert,
the French Pyrenees, the South African
Karoo, and the South Pole. He has
contributed visuals to documentaries
produced for the History, Discovery,
BBC, and National Geographic channels;
and written photography articles for
DPReview.com.

About
the
Cigar Society of Chicago
ONE OF THE OLDEST
AND greatest traditions of the
city clubs of Chicago is the
discussion of intellectual,
social, legal, artistic,
historical, scientific, musical,
theatrical, and philosophical
issues in the company of educated,
bright, and appropriately
provocative individuals, all under
the beneficent influence of
substantial amounts of tobacco and
spirits. The Cigar
Society of Chicago
embraces this tradition and
extends it with its Informal
Smokers, University
Series lectures, and Cigar
Society Dinners, in which
cigars, and from time to time
pipes and cigarettes, appear as an
important component of our version
of the classical symposium. To be
included in the Cigar Society's
mailing list, write to the
secretary at
curtis.tuckey@logicophilosophicus.org
