Special thanks to Curt Roelle to arrange that presentation.
Mark worked with NASA on Voyager mission and bring a lot of very interesting info about it
in his presentation “The Voyager Mission and the Edge of the Solar System.”.
After Mark Swisdak we had some club announcements and some BAU staff.
After the meeting we went outside and had a little star party.
Skies were almost perfect. Only the problem was a Moon which is going to be full only next week, but was already extremely bright that night. There were even shadows on the ground as we had a projector on the parking lot.
I've tried to take a picture of Mars, which is in the closest approach to the Earth these days, but it wasn't so good. Just a fuzzy, little bit reddish ball.
Then I tried my camera enhancement lens which is supposed to double the power.
However, picture of the Moon was so big that did not fit into the screen.
I want to give credit for that picture to Tom Renn, who helped me to point and keep steady my crappy telescope.
