September 2014 meeting
Many thanks to our speaker John Gifford, for his enlightening, entertaining and inspiring talk in which John shared his experiences of astro-imaging.The wide range of his images showed what practice and a relatively modest investment can achieve. This talk was much enjoyed.
Despite recent poor conditions, Bill Reed was still able to share excellent images, a movie of comet Jaques moving against the background stars and a ‘movie’ of images of Perseid meteors captured by radar reflection during the recent shower. Thanks Bill. And thanks to Arthur for his monthly sky notes.
Ron also shared some images of recent H alpha solar activity.
Many thanks to all who helped in the kitchen and with refreshments. Particular thanks to Lorna for taking the considerable trouble to drive miles to get her cakes to us in time for our break. They were delicious and every one of them was scoffed. Thanks Lorna!!
All in all a most enjoyable evening.
Next month, the subject of Bob Mizon’s talk is ‘Dark future?” This is a topic relevant to everyone with an interest in the night sky.
