Our Next Monthly Meeting:
Date: Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Location: Naperville Municipal Center, downstairs meeting rooms Room B & C (see Map page for directions)
Time: 7:30P.M.
Program: Checking In with Mars Science Laboratory Rover "Curiosity"
Presenter: Adler Planetarium Master Educator Michelle Nichols
For the main presentation at this month's NAA Regular Meeting we welcome Michelle Nichols from the Adler Planetarium to present recent science findings, fantastic images, and updates on the health of the laser-zapping, rock-cooking, car-sized NASA rover that is more capable than anything we have previously sent to Mars.
Our Next Astronomy Fundamentals Program:
Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Location: Naperville Municipal Center, downstairs meeting room B & C (see Map page for directions)
Time: 7:30P.M.
Program: Homemade Telescope Mirrors and General Astronomy FAQ Workshop
Presenter: NAA Member John Abrahamian
The Astronomy Fundamentals program for May is a two-part presentation. To begin, NAA member (and resident master
optician) John Abrahamian will give a short
overview of the process of making one's own
telescope mirror. It has been a few years since
John led his last mirror making workshop for the
club, and there is a new "generation" of members
interested in finding out about the subject, so if you
are potentially one of those -- or, if you didn’t finish
a mirror during the last go-round -- be sure to
attend.
The second part of the evening will be a
free-for-all astro-help session. If you have any
questions about anything having to do with the
practical application of our hobby, bring them in,
and fellow members will try and answer them. Can't
figure out something on your telescope, star chart,
or other piece of gear? Or, are you experienced
with such stuff? In either case, come join in, and
take part in the knowledge sharing.
