September 25, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Presentations
Chris Malicki & Noelle Starzynski: “Observing and taking Astrophotos from British Columbia”
Liz and Chris spent 2 weeks with their niece, Noelle, who lives near Osoyoos BC, 10 km from Mt. Kobau. (In 1966, this location was considered for the Queen Elizabeth II telescope.) They will talk about observing and astrophotography from the area.
Randy Attwood: “Space Shuttle Pictorial”
I recently had my shuttle slides from 1981 – 1983 rescanned and will share a few in this pictorial presentation.
Krishna Vedala: “Observing During the Pandemic”
** Break **
Fred Benedikt: “Are your Binoculars Collimated? How Would you know?”
I ‘accidentally’ dropped my astro binoculars and it could have ended better. This talk explores binocular collimation vs. alignment. I will outline options on how to check and adjust binoculars.
Randy Attwood: “An Introduction to Astrophotography Course For Beginners”
An introductory course for members new to astrophotography will be run in the coming weeks. I will describe what members will expect to learn if they take it.
Potpourri meetings usually feature a series of short presentations on various astronomy and space topics given by members of the Mississauga Centre. If you are a Mississauga Centre member in good standing and would like to present at an upcoming meeting, please email to MEMMTG@mississauga.rasc.ca
