Tonight was a pretty good night for NAG with a good turnout of members.
I am adding tonight’s powerpoint presentation to this post for you to download and view at your leisure.
Some of the points reviewed tonight:
:- A technique of using barlow lenses and extension tubes to increase magnification and improve your view of objects with a better eye relief.
:- Brief coverage of the Personal Solar Telescope by Coronada which allows you to view features of the Sun such as prominences , filaments, spicules and of course sunspots…….. without costing you an arm and a leg.
:- View of the Milky Way using an H-alpha filter
:- A sample of objects you can see in the skies over Sydney in the next 4 weeks.
:-Covering the June 3rd fireball seen on Jupiter as well as the reason for the Southern Belt disappearing .
:- Attaching digital cameras to your telescope using adapters……. including iPhone Adapters

Hey Roy
Nice work with the presentation. Pity I couldn’t make it, I would have liked to hear what you had to say, but will be back in action next month (I hope). What did you take the picture of Mars with?
Chris
Thanks for this Roy,
I was sick on Tuesday and so missed the NAG, so thanks for posting your presentation.
Cheers,
Anthony
