SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy July 2021
DESCRIPTION:The 79 Moons of Jupiter\nby guest speaker Jonathan Park\nJupiter\, the largest planet in our Solar System\, has 79 known moons. Tonight\, Jonathan discusses the different groups of moons orbiting Jupiter\, learning about the difference between regular and irregular moons. We will see how astronomers identify which of these were originally part of a single object before breaking into the separate satellites we see today. Finally\, we will take a closer look at some of the extraordinary features of the giant moons –  Io\, Europa\, Ganymede and Callisto\, one of which may have the perfect environment for life.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting July - "The Possum comes out at night": The latest happenings at Possum Observatory\, near Gisborne.
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: John Drummod. \nJohn owns and operates the Possum Observatory complex at Patutahi\, 12km west of Gisborne. He owns a 50cm diameter\, two 41cm\, a 35cm and smaller telescopes. He also runs Gisborne Astro Tours (www.gisborneastrotours.com). In this talk\, John will be sharing what he is doing with these telescopes and how they are contributing to science. He will also speak about how the astro tourism business is going and what his latest academic studies in astronomy are. \nJohn Drummond has been fascinated with astronomy ever since his mother pointed the ‘Pot’ in Orion out to him when he was ten. John soon developed an interest in photography and it wasn’t long before the two passions were combined into astrophotography. He has been involved in astrophotography for many years and has had photos published in books and magazines around the world – and even on some New Zealand stamps. \nHe has used his telescopes at Possum Observatory\, near Gisborne\,  to image targets for Ohio State University in order to co-discover exoplanets via the microlensing method. John also does astrometry of newly discovered comets and asteroids – as well as those of more well-known orbits. \nJohn completed his MSc (Astronomy) in 2016 with Swinburne University of Technology. Currently he is doing his PhD with the University of Southern Queensland’s (USQ) Centre for Astrophysics. His work is on New Zealand’s historical role in the observation and study of comets. He is also heavily involved with the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand and was made a Fellow in 2018. He teaches science at high school and loves surfing Gizzy’s great waves!

SUMMARY:Astrophotography Group July
DESCRIPTION:WinJUPOS with Stephen Dean \nStephen Dean has generously agreed to present to the group at our July meeting.\nHe will be giving an overview on WinJUPOS and a quick tutorial on how to use it for de-rotation of planetary images.\nIt should be really interesting and I look forward to seeing his process and results!
