NSAS Seminar Series

Some of the latest advances in amateur astronomy has been the development and enhancement of strainwave and harmonic devices for the amateur astronomer. They have the ability to support reasonable payloads without weights as well as providing solid platforms capable of astrophotography.

Come along and join us as we hear about this new technology and how it supports people new to Astronomy, as well as experienced astrophotographers who are looking for a lighter, but capable mount. Earl White from Bintel will talk about the technology and market penetration that these and smart telescopes are having.

Members, Guests and visitors are welcome to join us in Regis Hall (Meeting Locations) or on zoom.
