SUMMARY:2024 Burbidge Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The Burbidge Dinner is held annually in honour of the main founder of the Auckland Astronomical Society\, Professor Percy Burbidge. Proceedings will commence with a welcome followed by the announcement of the winners of the 2024 New Zealand Astrophotography Competition. One of this year’s judges\, Dylan O’Donnell will be present to award the prizes. The prize giving will be followed by a buffet dinner and an after dinner lecture by Dylan O’Donnell. \nNot just Pretty Pictures – The intersection between Science and Astrophotography. \nAstrophotography is regarded as one of the most difficult forms of photography. The skills required for many branches of specialized astrophotography overlap with the skills required for professional astronomy. Most of the time there is a clear distinction between these two groups but in many cases collaboration between them yields scientific results that could not have been achieved otherwise. \nDylan O’Donnell is an Australian award winning astrophotographer with a popular YouTube channel and social media following. He is a brand ambassador for Celestron telescopes and the founder & host of the Star Stuff astronomy event in Australia. He holds a masters degree in computer science and a bachelor degree in Astronomy and hosts a weekly space segment on ABC radio. Dylan also releases his astrophotography from the Byron Bay Observatory freely to the public domain. \n \nTickets for the 2024 Burbidge are now available. \nMember Ticket prices – Early Bird price until 12th October $70.
