From gary at bendun.net Mon Nov 4 19:05:58 2013 From: gary at bendun.net (Gary Bennett) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 19:05:58 -0500 Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] Monthly Meeting - Thursday Nov. 7 @ 8:00 - Royal Canadian Legion, 79 Hamilton St. N, Waterdown Message-ID: <002b01ced9ba$cf08d4d0$6d1a7e70$@net> Guest Speaker - Murray Romisher - "Visual Observing" using a MallinCam. Murray is an avid MallinCam user and is a regular outreach volunteer at public observing events around the GTA area. What is a MallinCam? It is a terrific piece of Canadian ingenuity used all over the world. Inventor, Rock Mallin (he was an exhibitor at AstroCats) has mastered the art of adapting ultra sensitive video CCD chips for use as an "electronic eyepiece". In as few as 30 seconds, a glorious full colour image is displayed on a portable monitor. The detail is incredible, and it displays the colours that your night vision is unable to see when using a conventional eyepiece. Murray will show us the equipment used and present some samples images that show what you can expect to see under the stars. Special Presentation - Tell us your idea of "FUN" We've decided that we need to add some more club activities. This is your chance to you to share what kinds of activities you would like to see. See you all on Thursday! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Perhaps some wind, but otherwise "severe clear". Join us for an evening of stargazing tomorrow night at the observatory.
