Anonymity !

Hope it went well guys, would have loved to have joined, but had our busiest ever week at work this week topped off by our busiest ever day today, and quite frankly, I'm knackered. 

This is a great endeavour. Would love to see Paul Money give a Zoom presentation, if you could twist his arm into doing one!

 

Best wishes

I had to leave before the end, but it was a big success, and I look forward to
more in future, it certainly takes the sting out of having no Star Party this year.
Must get myself a Microphone.  Also, Would my Canon Video recorder do as a camera?

Many thanks to Admin. for bringing this to SGL, and a big Thank You to Steve R. for an excellent 
performance, and look forward to more on the Imaging theme.
Ron.

I reckon you'll be busy for a while Tim, people will be eager to get their gardens ship shape for summer.  

Zoom is fantastic perhaps you might consider doing a presentation, Steve's was very good starting with a basic intro to imaging. It will get more in depth later though. 

Hope you and family are all well.                                                  Ron.

Fantastic broadcast  by  Steve,, really enjoyed it,, certainly a good way to spend a Sunday night,, fantastic idea to have this and many thanks to FLO for being it's sponsor, 

Looking forward to next week's broadcast,, should try and keep this as a regular fixture. 

I've been asked if there is anywhere it can be watched again.

Haha. You spotted my deliberate mistake there then. It did confuse me a tad initially when I was referred to by my wifes name.Glad to hear I wasnt the only one or do AP'ers have a certain penchant for cross dressing? 🤣

Carole can get an RPi running astro software so she's not easily curve-balled!

I don't even know what a RPi is or what it does!!???

See if I get better luck using the laptop.  did try that last night but had trouble logging into SGL as I have updated all my passwords in the last week or so due to being hacked.  So got locked out of SGL!!!   It wasn't my night.  Was so exhausted with all the frustration, I didn't feel up to going outside and wasted a clear evening.

Thanks also Steve, our own astro club meetings have been cancelled so was great to hear another talk.  The Q&A was helpful too. 

[daz]

Really glad to hear you all enjoyed it! It was great fun for us too!!

Steve will certainly be invited back for more talks/demo's in future sessions!

Looking forward to seeing you all again this week for Niz Szymanek's talk!

Fantastic grant,, I missed Steve on the pipes,, could not figure out why I didn't have audio,, be good to get a link,,  I advertised it in astronomy Scotland Facebook group,, but still astounds me the amount of folk still asking the same questions,, would be great just to be able to give them a link to watch Steve's broadcast and it would be a great learning tool,, 

A Sgl utube channel to store the planned broadcasts,, is more than likely to be looked at by you guys,, as always good forward motion for astronomy,, well done guys

It usually takes a couple of days for the video to go up.  I think all the others have been posted in a new thread in this group when they're ready though.
