RASC Hamilton Bring your Transit images on a USB stickto TheBanquet tomorrow...

[Roger Hill]

I'd like the Star Tracker.  I travel often enough that it would be great to have something that would allow widefield astrophotographic exposures of a couple of minutes or more that was easily portable.

The CCD camera would be nice, too.  While I like the QHY5 that I use for autoguiding, it'd be nice to have colour and a larger field.  I used to have a lot of fun with several different webcams, from the original 6 bit Quickcam to the Philips 690K and later the TouCam and the even a Creative Labs CCD that was quite nice.

I have several pairs of binoculars: 8x40, 7x50, 10x50 and 15x70.  I don't need anymore.

Roger

No problem...and if this had added me to the list of event organizers that
are not eligible, you can gues what WOULDN'T be happening!

See you tomorrow,

Roger

Thank you for doing this Roger!

I just got back from Efston Science where I picked up another really
fabulous door prize!!! FYI, a few of us event organizers are NOT eligible
for door prizes so your odds are looking better than you might think!

I should know better by now...

Ok...if you have any images of the Transit you'd like to show, bring them on
a USB stick.  When you get to the banquet, find me and I'll load them onto a
laptop.  The resultant slide show will then be projected on to a screen
during the dinner.  You will not have a chance to say where they were taken
from, what equipment you used, or even that you took them...they will just
be shown.

At tomorrows banquet, will there be a showing of some peoples Venus Transit
pictures?

Perhaps as a never ending slide show during dinner?
