Stellar Evolution – The life cycle of stars |
| Aug 21 2010 |
Tom Field |
‘Real Time
Spectroscopy with RSpec’ using his new software program "RSpec" that
does real-time astronomical spectroscopy. He will review a bit of the
history and science around spectroscopy and then discuss various
projects that amateurs can undertake. As many members know, spectroscopy
is one of the primary tools that are used in astronomical research. If
you've got a DSLR, webcam, or classical CCD and almost any telescope,
then RSpec and a simple grating is all you need to get involved in this
interesting aspect of astronomy. Tom says, "Spectroscopy isn't rocket
science, but it is one of the last frontiers for amateurs to get
involved in on a large scale. It's exciting to be able to actually see
the composition of stars with some simple backyard gear. And, once you
have some hands-on spectroscopy experience, you'll find that a lot of
the articles in Sky & Telescope and on the web take on a whole new
meaning in light of your new understanding of the field." |

EAS Programs
Chairperson Ron Mosher |
Some Good Low-Cost or
No-Cost Astro Software - You don’t have to pay an arm-and-a-leg to get
highly-capable astronomy software these days. He will interactively show
some of the nice capabilities of some popular packages, including HN
SKY, Stellarium, Google Earth, and several other specialty programs. (No
demo is planned, but also notable is the new release this week of
Microsoft’s World-Wide-Telescope, including an interactive Mars globe
allowing amazing zoom-ins). |

simple amateur telescopes and low cost astro-cameras like the DSI II, and
making an actual contribution to science. He submits his data to groups
like the Center for Backyard Astrophysics and the American Association of
Variable Star Observers. He also described how he came to own a ready-made
observatory near Cle Elem and Table Mt to do his observing from |

The January club meeting was a lunar double feature
Software demo of new “Lunar Discoverer” lunar mapping software, a dynamic
interactive high-resolution lunar map and observing software program, conducted
by Mark Folkerts. It helps find and identify objects, provides info about

viewing conditions and co-longitude information, multiple different types
of high-res sets of maps, observation logging, and more
Also,

| Nov 21 2009 |
Dr. John Wisniewski, a postdoctoral fellow from the UW |
His work on exoplanet detection in "Imaging
Circumstellar Disks: Exoplanet Diagnostics." He described
the high contrast imaging techniques which are used to image the circumstellar
disks of protostars, i.e. protoplanetary disks, which are believed to serve
as the active birthplace of planets. Slightly older debris disks may indicate
the presence of exoplanets and allow the study the early dynamical evolution
of exo-planet systems. He showed state-of-the-art images of circumstellar
disks, taken by HST or adaptive optics telescopes. He also discussed some
of the interesting science results from imaging the HD 163296 protoplanetary
disk, and the Fomalhaut debris disk system. John has also involved himself
in public outreach, including Project Astro, science fair judging, talks
to young people and to amateur astronomers. |
| Oct 24 2009 |

the universe with the public. Whether you're just getting started, or are
an old pro, there are many ways to make your time with the public more enjoyable.
Includes: ‘Getting Started with Outreach’, How to Say "I Don't Know",
‘Connecting with Kids’, ‘Handling Difficult Questions (and Difficult
People)’, and ‘How to get "WOW!" (When not showing Saturn)’. |

Sarah Knights from the Museum of Flight |
Observing on Mauna Kea, why it is a good location for observations,
her experiences with the Keck and Gemini telescopes, and some of the interesting
things about the instruments she used for infrared astronomy and interferometry.
She will touch on some research she was working on, focused on star formation.
She worked with the mid-infrared instrument on Gemini, and helped engineer
some of the features now supported. Her research was on the rate of binary
stars in Orion, collisions and formation of planetismals, and she discovered
a Herbig Haro object (HH177) (by accident).

of great things to see in the sky year around, great galaxies in the fall,
great clusters and nebulae in the winter, and all sorts of combinations.
