SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy November 2024
DESCRIPTION:What Meteorites Tell Us About The Early Solar System \nby guest speaker Joel Schiff \nMeteorites are Solar System material that has landed on Earth. Most of it comes from the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter\, although some specimens are from the Moon and Mars. How this material lands on Earth and why it is scientifically important for studying the origins of the Solar System will be the subject of the talk. Numerous samples belonging to the author will be available for perusal. \nThis is a fascinating and important topic of astronomy. We look forward to seeing you all there! \n

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. Ticket price after 12th October $75 \nNon member ticket prices  – Early Bird price until 12th October $75. Ticket price after 12th October $80 \nTo order tickets please email events@astronomy.org.nz \nDoors Open 6:30pm \nWelcome to members and guests 7pm \nA cash bar will be available. \nEvent Venue \nWaipuna Hotel and Conference Center \n58 Waipuna Road\nMt Wellington\nAuckland \nThe Cosmic Bat LDN 43 (Captured and processed by Dylan O’Donnell) \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting November -Dot to Dot in the Sky – The Nature of Night
DESCRIPTION:Early cultures sought connections between what happened on Earth and what occurred overhead. They told stories to explain the stars\, auroras\, and other night sky phenomena. Discover legends of the night sky\, as well as the relationship between art\, science\, and nature in our Earth-sky environment. \nJoan Marie Galat is an award-winning author in Canada who shares her love of the night sky in books that include the Dot to Dot in the Sky series\, Dark Matters—Nature’s Reaction to Light Pollution\, and the National Geographic Kids title: Absolute Expert: Space. Joan’s 2024 release—Make Your Mark\, Make a Difference—includes issues relating to outer space and the night sky. Visit www.joangalat.com for additional information.

SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy November  - Variable Stars
DESCRIPTION:Observation of variable stars has a long history with amateur astronomy. We will discuss the types of variable stars and how to observe them to obtain scientifically useful data. This is still a valuable activity even with the large survey telescopes\, as amateurs can obtain data for stars that are too bright for the large telescopes\, or for certain types of variable stars where changes are happening rapidly\, the survey scopes cannot be dedicated for short cadence observing of a single star.
