North Essex Astronomical Society Monthly Talk

Everyone is invited to this regular monthly meeting of the North Essex Astronomical Society, an informal social evening that includes a presentation, refreshments, and raffle. These events are suitable for beginners and older children and a great chance to meet local astronomers and find out about their observing activities at Great Notley Country Park and Abberton Reservoir. Doors open at 19:30, talk starts at 20:00. A small on the door fee is payable to help cover costs.

The speaker for September is renowned astro-imager Nik Szymanek and his talk is entitled “Wonders of the Sky.”

It’s an introduction to meteorological photography, explaining clouds, rainbows, haloes, glories, sunsets etc. NEAS are told there are lots of pretty pictures, a tiny little bit of science and is suitable for all audiences.
Nik has written a monthly astro-imaging column in Astronomy Now magazine for many years as well as three books on astronomical imaging. Head over to his website for a look at some of his amazing images. http://ccdland.net/
