SUMMARY:Outreach Event - Cheltenham Camera Club
DESCRIPTION:BMA2 club will present to the Cheltenham Camera Club.\nFrom 7:00-9:00 PM. \nThis event is FREE and open to our members and the general public.\n\nPart of this presentation will be to introduce the wide scope of astrophotography avenues open to the amateur photography enthusiast. Although much of the hobby is focused on deep sky targets\, there are many other very satisfying aspects of photographing the night sky requiring far less specialized equipment and training. In addition to deep sky\, we will give an overview at making skyscapes\, star trails\, constellations\, photographing the Sun\, Moon\, Planets\, Northern Lights\, eclipses\, meteor showers and comets.\n\nFor the camera club members\, we will put a special emphasis on how to use a typical DSLR camera/lenses in manual mode on a tripod to capture many of these unique objects. Additionally\, we will highlight using a SeeStar digital smart scope as an entryway into imaging the night sky (Thanks Don Schuenemann). Weather permitting a live demo on site will be provided.\n\nResources for additional information/study will be provided to attendees.

SUMMARY:Outreach Event
DESCRIPTION: “21st Century Amateur Astronomy”  by Dwight Dulsky\, BMA2 Outreach Coordinator and NASA Ambassador\nHosted by the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve\nThe Presentation will be over Zoom – 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nCheck the organizer’s website for the Zoom link.\n\n\nThe face of amateur astronomy has changed dramatically over the past few years. Advances in optics\, precision mounts\, computerized cameras and tracking capabilities have all elevated the world of the backyard astronomer to new levels that rival what professional observatories were capable of just a few years ago. Amateur equipment and citizen science opportunities abound for ordinary people to make valuable contributions to the professional astronomical community. Whether just casually stargazing with friends or monitoring the skies for science\, it is an exciting time we live in for amateur astronomers. We'll explore what it takes to get involved with observing the sky\, along with showing some of the amazing astrophotos taken by the club members of the Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association.

SUMMARY:Outreach Event
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE: Eclipses\, Auroras and Comets\, Oh My!\nby Dwight Dulsky \n\n2024 was an incredible year featuring three major astronomical events for astronomers. These are jaw dropping sights that don’t happen that often\, and to have these bucket list items appear right in our backyards is very rare. Our astronomers are constantly watching the skies and recording these special happenings year-round. We will revisit these three unique events and tell the backstory of how they occur and what we do to capture them in stunning detail. While most people sleep\, the Universe unfolds a beautiful tableau during the night. \nPresenter: For the past 20 years\, Dwight Dulsky of the Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association has worked on school and community outreach programming among numerous regional organizations teaching children and adults about the wonders of the night sky. Most recently\, with the Astronomical Society of the Pacific providing Solar Eclipse safety information in 2024. \nRegister to attend at the Upper Dublin Library Website
