September meeting

Another hall- full this time to enjoy Bob Mizon’s ‘Weird Astronomy’. Thanks Bob, another excellent talk.

For the first time, (there always has to be a first time), we had a glitch with our projector/ computer interface. Coincidentally (weirdly?), one of our first time visitors just happened to be a software engineer!  Thanks to him the problem was quickly sorted.

A warm welcome to all our visitors, young and old. Hope to see you again next month. Nigel Wakefield will be speaking on the effects of the cosmos on our climate. Should be interesting! (This is a change from the advertised programme)

Many thanks to those who volunteered for ‘kitchen duty’ during the break. It was much appreciated!

Bill Reed continues to amaze with his deep sky images. Those galaxies lurking in the background of his great shot of the Pleiades  were a revelation, not to mention his ‘blinking’ of the Delphinus nova.

There are still places on our DSLR astro photography course for beginners on 16 November in Marston Magna Village Hall, so please contact us if you’re interested. £10 for members, £15 for non members.

We will be at the Crewkerne Community Fair on 5 October from 10 to 1 at the George Reynolds Centre, South Street Crewkerne. Why not pop in to see us or even give us a hand with our display.

John Chuter has organised a star party for Friday 11 October starting 7 pm at Brian Hill’s caravan site, Hilltop, Long St. High Ham TA10 9DN. If cloudy there will be talks indoors. Bring any optical equipment you have or just come along anyway. Contact John on 07891 609285 or email john.wchuter (at)gmail.com.

Last but not least, thanks to Arthur Davis for his sky notes and related presentation.

Ron
