Next Wednesday (October 20th) we will have Mr Chris Wyatt, the president of UNE & Northern Tablelands Astronomical Society, (Armidale) to speak to the local Astronomical Society of Coonabarabran at our monthly meeting. Chris, who lives in beautiful Walcha, has been interested in Astronomy since he was 7 when Halley's Comet made its most recent visit in 1986. Since then he has had a keen interest in Astronomy, with a particular interest in Comets but also in other facets of astronomy including Variable star observing and Asteroid & Lunar Occultations. It is this latter area of asteroid and lunar occultations he is going to come and talk to us about. All welcome - Rotary Room in the new improved Imperial Hotel Dining Room at Coonabarabran at 7.30 pm this coming Wednesday - we will be meeting for dinner from 6.30pm before hand and sampling the new menu!
Chris is a keen astro-photographer of comets and other wonders of the night sky and some of his pictures can be seen here - http://www.unentas.armidale.com/chris_photos.htm
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information and everyone is welcome and the meetings are free and suitable to all ages.
