ParticipantHi Paul,
Are you going to the Winchester Weekend Paul?
Regards, Graham

ParticipantI am pleased that you can use some of them. Just let me know which ones when you return home.

ParticipantHi Bob,
http://www.astrospeakers.org has a list of approximately 100 speakers willing to present to astro societies.
You could also contact Liverpool and Manchester AS as they may have members able to give talks. There is also the University College of Lancashire at Preston who may be able to help.
Regards, Graham

ParticipantCould be a long meeting, James!
Atmospheric dispersion?

ParticipantNow that the archives of the Deep Sky and Comet sections can be viewed from the same place, do we still need to send images to the sections as well as the member album?

ParticipantHi Martina,
There is one here https://www.365astronomy.com/Blitz-Hotshoe-dSLR-Camera-Adapter-and-Red-Dot-Finder-COMBO.html. If you already have the finder you can just get the adapter. If you know someone with a 3d printer they could probably make the adapter.
I may just buy one myself.

ParticipantI thought it was dependent on the clouds reflecting sunlight. We have had lots of those recently! Graham

ParticipantI have been trying to get started with photometry and have found that AIP4WIN does not seem to be available any more. The book that it is supplied with is no longer on the Willman Bell website. I have been trying Muniwin which produces files for AAVSO and has an option for the BAA version but when accessed it says “yet to be developed”. Regards, Graham Winstanley

ParticipantDr Ann Bonell has become the 40th speaker to join Astrospeakers. Ann’s topics are on the history of astronomy, including “Ladies of the Night” about lady astronomers at a time when it was not the done thing for a lady to be an astronomer.
Newtown Astronomy Society have also registered and you will find their details by clicking the map at E10. At their meeting on 10 September there was a talk by Dr Tony Cook, “Cook’s tour of the Moon”.Graham

ParticipantThank you for your support Gary.
Apologies to Roger Pickard the current director of the VSS, but you are still involved as the Recurrent Objects Secretary.
Gary gave an excellent presentation to the Lincoln AS earlier this month on Historical Novae. If he has not been to speak at your society yet I would recommend you contact him.

ParticipantIt was the I-Spy the Night Sky that caused my addiction. The Observers book and Nortons soon followed. I even made a wooden version of the equatorial mount in Norton’s for my four inch reflector with spherical mirror. I used to spend a lot of time in the library in Liverpool and borrowed many of the books already mentioned.
