Lecture Synopsis

Is Pluto A Planet In July 2015 the New Horizons spacecraft - which has Jerrys name on it - finally reaches

Earths distant cousin in the outer reaches of the Solar System after a journey of 9 years But will it actually encounter a planet

Just 7 months after New Horizons was launched back in January 2006 the International Astroshynomical Union voted to re-classify Pluto as a Dwarf Planet resulting in uproar in the astroshy

nomical community and starting a controversy that still divides opinion among astronomers and the general public alike But does it need Ito Is there not a simple answer

Is Pluto A Planet covers the thorny question of t~e status of Pluto It looks in detail at the IAU definition of a planet and some of its unexpected - and unintended - consequences So

how many planets do we really have Is it 8 21 or maybe only 3

Friday 100pm - 200pm Nik Szymanek Nik is an amateur astrondmer based in Essex He is_a keen astrophoshy

tographer and regularlyl travels to dark sky observatory locations abroad such as La Palma~ Hawaii Spain and Tenerife These sites are

perfect for deep sky astrophotography and Nik has also liaised with observatory staff to pro~uce public-relations pictures taken with the professional telescope~ at those locations Back in the UK Nlk is a regular monthly columnist for Astronomy Now magazine and has

appeared on the BBCs ~he Sky at Night Inside Out and The Final Frontier television programmes

Nik is a Visiting Researbh Feow at the University of Hertfordshires Centre for Astrophysids Research and a Feow of the Royal Astroshynomical SOCiety In JUI~ 2004 he was invited to Berkeley California

to receive the prestigious Astronomical Society of the Pacifics Amateur Achievement Award 2004

Lecture Synopsis

Imaging the Deep Sky with Robotic Telescopes Astro imaging in the UK can be a frustrating business due the poor weather we have to endure Many imagers are opting to use high-end equipmnt located at pristine observing sites abroad This talk will cover the pros and cons of either rehting time on robotic equipment or setting up your own equipment at such sites The talk will ~ISO feature many of the images taken by Nik

Szymanek and Ian King using imaging equipment located in Spain The talk wi also feature an in-depth image processing demonstration sh~wing how high quality data is processed to

produce deep images of galaxies and nebulae

Astronomical Society on the Council of the Society for Popular Astronomy and the press officer for the International Meteor Organisation

Lecture Synopsis

The Kaleidoscopic Universe

Astronomy is the study of the entire universe using the only thing that reaches us light But visible light is only a tiny part of the much larger electromagnetic spectrum encompassing everything from radio microwave infra-red and visible to ultra-violet x-ray and gamma-ray This story takes us on a tour of some well-known astronomical

objects to illustrate what each part of the spectrum can tell us about the physics of our universe

Saturday 215pm - 315pm Damian Peach

Damian Peach is a world renowned astrophotographer Over his career his Images have appeared in countless books science papers and he himself has also appeared numerous times on television promoting astronomy and astrophotography as well as giving talks on

the subjectWas awarded both the British Astronomical Associations Merlin Medal and Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers Walter Haas award both for outstanding contributions to Planetary astronomy In 2009 he was part of a record setting team that produced the largest ground based image mosiac of the Moon ever taken He featured in the acclaimed national Explorers of the Universe photographic exhibition at the Royal Albert Hall and also had his workfeatured at the Edinbu

Science Festival His work was used by NASA and ESA to illustrate the importance and quality of amateur planetary images In 2011 he was

1

crowned overall winner of the Royal Greenwich Observatory Astrophotographer of the year competition and was a prizewinning finalist in 2012 and 2013 He also recently won 1st place in the National Science Foundations Comet ISON photo competition

Lecture Synopsis

High Resolution Astrophotography ~ Damian takes you through this very demanding part of astrophotography With a 15 minute question and answer section at the end of is lecture

Saturday 330pm-430pm Dr Allen Chapman Allan Chapman is a historian of science at Oxford University with a special interest in the history of astronomy He is the author of 13

books and over 130 journal articles and has made several television programmes He has been awarded honorary doctorates for his work

lished by Lion Hudson in October 2014

Lecture Synopsis

It may strike one as odd that Robert Hookes monumental Micrographia of 1665 should be thought of as an astronomical book Yet in Micrographia Hooke not only announced and backed-up with

optical experiments and observations his wave model of light and the physical cause of the spectrum but also described a machine for figuring telescope object glasses And then he went on

to discuss what we today term the resolving power of a telescopes as opposed to their simple magnification But it is in Micrographla that Hooke became the worlds first laboratory astronomer

when he conducted a brilliant series of experiments to simUlate lunar craters and other features experimentally And in my lecture I will explore them

An observatory is not just somewhere to store your equipment It should also provide you with protection from wind chill and stray light so that you can observe in comfort Only a traditional aperture slit style of observatory can

do this Thats why Pulsar 22m and 27m observatories are the most popular choice for casual observers and serious astro-imagers

We are still the lowest price GRP observatories across Europe
