Many thanks for your nice words! I really enjoyed Sunday evening and I got lots of positive resonance about the presentation.

I have various talks in my repetoire, so I gave already talks about adaptive optics, integral field spectroscopy or building my observatory.

I think I did not give “Your first Telescope” at the SAS yet. We thought it may be a good one for the public observing events you plan in January. It is a talk about chosing a first telescope and starting to use it. I am also prepared to deliver this talk on a general meeting if you like.

I am also open for new talk subjects. If there is anything SAS members want to learn about I can see what I can do.

Best wishes,

Jurgen

Hi Juergen,

I would like to take this opportunity to officially thank you very much on
behalf of all our SAS members for you talk.

Your talk on the “Astro Imaging: An introduction” on Sunday night, on the
16th November 2014, which was brilliant, very informative & extremely
interesting and well worth the presentation re-design.

It was very insightful, answered a lot of questions, and we all very much
liked your astro imaging explanations & concepts and we all very much
enjoyed it.

Again thank you very much for your talk & well done, SAS very much
appreciated it:-)

If you have any others in the pipeline just let me know.

Cheers,

Martin Kennedy
(Secretary, Sunderland Astronomical Society)

Hi everyone,
John Lynch has asked me to send out a short email to say a big Thank You! to everyone who helped make the two Jupiter Nights at Washington WWT a great success. We estimate there were around 160 guests on Friday night and over 500 – yes, *over 500* – on Saturday night!
That’s a fantastic achievement, so well done to everyone for coping with such huge numbers of public and making both nights brilliant events for everyone who came.
And for those who still have some energy left, there’s the usual workshop meeting tonight from 7pm!
Thanks, everyone, for making it such a great Society.

Best wishes,

Dave Newton
Founder member, Sunderland Astronomical Society
