Hi folks,
We don't have a speaker for our December talk so we would like to hear from all the members to see what kind of subjects they would like to see covered.
(No promises mind

)

Cheers,
Gordon

Hey Gordon.

How about astrophotography and the techniques involved in capturing some nice images.

Cheers Roy

Hi Roy,

Yeah, that would be a popular one, i'm pretty sure we had a talk about this a
year or two ago. The only problem is getting someone to do it. Frank would be the obvious choice, but he's not around until January.

Cheers,
Gordon

Hey Gordon.

I think Dave has a wealth of knowledge on the subject maybe he'd be the speaker on the night.
Had a great night NGC and Messier hopping last night. got in some lovely clusters in the constellations Auriga,Taurus and Cassiopeia. Got in NGC869,NGC884,M103,M36,M37,M38,M42,M43 and M45. Started about 9:20 finished just after 1:30am. Was thinking about staying up and catching Saturn rising about 5:20am but fell asleep on the couch and forgot to set alarm.DAMN.
