SUMMARY:Potpourri NIght
DESCRIPTION:Host: Randy Attwood\nPresentations\nAllan Connery – Telescope Loan Program Update\nSimon Claughton – Berlet Electronics contribution to the building of the CFHT.\nIn 1975 Berlet began its involvement with the CFHT during it’s construction\, and for the next 15 years\, during it operation.\nFred Benedikt –  Travelogue to the Adler Planetarium (Chicago) and Lowell Observatory (Flagstaff)\nRon Macnaughton – Microbial Mats on Earth –  and perhaps on Mars.\nWhat was called “the “oldest uncontested biogenic structure” found on Earth is a microbial mat from West Australia.   These structures form when microbes glue a layer of sediment together leaving characteristic patterns. If life existed on Mars\,  it is possible that similar structures might be detected by the Perseverance rover which has instruments to identify large carbon containing molecules.\nDavid Maynard – : Astrophotography on the Cheap. \nUsing the equipment that I already have to begin learning how to take and process photos.\nZOOM LINK

SUMMARY:Potpourri Meeting
DESCRIPTION:View this talk on YouTube \nPresentations \nChris Malicki & Noelle Starzynski: “Observing and taking Astrophotos from British Columbia”\nLiz and Chris spent 2 weeks with their niece\, Noelle\, who lives near Osoyoos BC\, 10 km from Mt. Kobau. (In 1966\, this location was considered for the Queen Elizabeth II telescope.) They will talk about observing and astrophotography from the area. \nRandy Attwood: “Space Shuttle Pictorial”\nI recently had my shuttle slides from 1981 – 1983 rescanned and will share a few in this pictorial presentation. \nKrishna Vedala: “Observing During the Pandemic” \n** Break ** \nFred Benedikt: “Are your Binoculars Collimated? How Would you know?”\nI ‘accidentally’ dropped my astro binoculars and it could have ended better.  This talk explores binocular collimation vs. alignment.  I will outline options on how to check and adjust binoculars. \nRandy Attwood: “An Introduction to Astrophotography Course For Beginners”\nAn introductory course for members new to astrophotography will be run in the coming weeks. I will describe what members will expect to learn if they take it. \nPotpourri meetings usually feature a series of short presentations on various astronomy and space topics given by members of the Mississauga Centre. If you are a Mississauga Centre member in good standing and would like to present at an upcoming meeting\, please email to MEMMTG@mississauga.rasc.ca \nTo Attend this Virtual Meeting Online: \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81601496670?pwd=WkdWWWowTXV1NVFWTXVGTW8zVjRLdz09 \nMeeting ID: 816 0149 6670\, Passcode: 198768 \nTo Attend this Virtual Meeting by Telephone: \nOne tap mobile\n+12042727920\,\,81601496670#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,198768# Canada\n+14388097799\,\,81601496670#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,198768# Canada \nDial by your location\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada \nFind your local number from other countries: https://us02web.zoomus/u/kvB1PFLzj \nMeeting ID: 816 0149 6670\, Passcode: 198768
