[Gary Bennett]

Join us on April 6 @ 8:00 for a night of fun and astronomical delight

Open to the public!

Special Presentation: The Colours of the Universe, A Pigment of Your
Imagination

We've all seen those beautiful photos of colourful nebulas. Some taken by
the Hubble Space Telescope, others by our own club members. But, are they
real or "doctored"? Why don't we see those colours when looking through an
eyepiece? What is "the Hubble Pallet"? What is "False Colour" and why we use
it?

Club members Gary Colwell and Gary Bennett will unravel the mysteries of the
colours of space and how our brains perceive and process colour.

Show & Tell - Lighten Your Load Using Micro Computers (and other cool
gizmos)

Some of your fellow members have already discovered how computer technology
has advance to the point where a full-fledged computer has been condensed to
the size of a pack of gum and uses almost no power, and only costs $180. We
will "de-geekify" will unveil the hardware and show how it may become a
workhorse used by amateur astronomers. This will be a "geek-speak free"
presentation!

 

Where:

The Royal Canadian Legion, 79 Hamilton St. N, 2nd Floor, Waterdown ON
