November ’16 meeting
Again it was nice to welcome some visitors.
It was great to see so many at the meeting to enjoy Sheri Lynn Karl’s presentation on solar observation and imaging. Sheri used her excellent images in white light, H-Alpha and Calcium K to show just how much there is to see at different depths on the always – changing sun. Although some of the imaging equipment can be fairly expensive, observing and imaging in white light is not and is well worth it as Sheri clearly showed. Great talk. Thanks Sheri!
Arthur Davis chose Perseus for his constellation for December and kindly made copies of his sky notes for the month available.
Bob Mizon gave a short presentation on Aurorae in addition to his ‘Object(s) of the month’ talk on interesting objects to be found in and around Canis Majoris. Many thanks to both Arthur and Bob.
Bud Budzynski showed some superb close up images of the moon taken with two different cameras so that we could compare the quality differences. There was no doubt his new (secret) camera was the better one.
Iain Torrance’s cakes were as usual superb. If he keeps this up we’ll just have to abandon the astronomy stuff and just spend the time stuffing ourselves..
Thanks to all who helped in setting up and clearing away so quickly and especially Zena and Annabella for managing the goodies.
Next month is our Christmas Social so no main speaker, but members’ short talks. How about contributing a quick 5/10 minute item.
Please bring a few nibbles and/or drinks to share as we celebrate another great year.
