Stuff Michael wants to share with the world

I'm an astronomer who daylights as an ordinary physics professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

• Classes I have taught at RIT and elsewhere
• I'm the director of the RIT Observatory . Over the past few decades, I've spent quite a few nights observing there, mostly measuring variable stars and supernovae.
• I write and contribute to scientific papers occasionally.
  • Search for papers including me in ADS
  • I might have my own copies of recently published paper(s)
• I've written a bit of astronomical software.
  • XVista image processing package
  • Match: a program for matching star lists
  • Ensemble -- software to perform inhomogeneous ensemble photometry
  • I've contributed to pipelines for reducing data for the SDSS, The Amateur Sky Survey, and most recently the Tomoe Gozen project.
• I enjoy sharing my interests with people.
  • Some of the astro talks I've given, mostly to the excellent Astronomy Section of the Rocester Academy of Sciences.
  • I like analyzing baseball
