Title: Seasonal Objects to Observer
Our Chief Observer, Dr. Mary Turner, will give her quarterly update on the best objects for observing during the summer season.
Speaker at 7:30pm: Dean and Melinda Ketelsen
Title: Towards More Telescope
At the July meeting, Dean Ketelsen, former TAAA president and 20 year Steward Observatory Mirror Lab employee, will present an update on current ongoing projects at the Mirror Lab. These include the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), and a few others of interest. This will be the LOGing (Large Optical Generator) part of the presentation.
Dean and his wife Melinda have maintained a blog for over 2 years and 400 entries, writing about not only his work at the Mirror Lab, but astronomical topics, home improvement, road trip stories, and birding and nature photography. In an effort to encourage others to pick up the activity, for the second part of the meeting, Melinda will create a blog and demonstrate how easy it is to add text and images to express your inner selves!
