Our November meeting

What a great evening that was! Robin Catchpole’s thought- provoking presentation was superb. Are we alone?  Can we ever know? What are the implications of a yes or no answer. How much does that matter? Many thanks to Robin for making the long trip from Cambridge and thanks to Bob Mizon for finding us another great speaker.

A warm welcome to first time visitors Ron Dinsdale, David Halsall and Charles Freebury. And it’s always nice to welcome James Fradgley when he visits.

Thanks to Arthur for his monthly sky-notes and our usual thanks to Zena and all who helped with the all- important refreshments. Is it my imagination or are the cakes even tastier

Thanks too to Bob Mizon for his ‘object of the month’ presentation.

Bud shared some great lunar images and Bill had us all viewing his 3D moon through our red/blue glasses. Nice work Bill. Speaking of which, many thanks to Richard Harbord for obtaining a stock of 3D viewers for us to use. Bill also shared some of his images (including one of a smoke filled fireworks night sky which did nothing for his imaging efforts). I had a few solar images and Bill and I showed some radar capture images from the recent Leonid meteor shower.

Next month is our Christmas social and there will be short talks by members. So bring along a few nibbles and a short 5 minute talk on anything you choose (just as long as its not too high brow and technical).

And clear skies for the Geminids in mid December.

Ron
