December 'Tech Talks' Meeting

New Technology: Smart Telescopes
Presented by Richard Spitzer


There was a time when only professional astronomers using giant or space telescopes could take photographs of deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. During the last few years, a new fairly inexpensive technology has come on the market, Smart Scopes. These compact combo telescope and camera packages are run by smart phone apps, automatically know where everything is in the sky, and save beautiful photos to your iPhone or Android phone. On Monday, December 16, 1:00 PM, Tech Talks by the Saddlebrooke Computer Club will present a talk on Smart Scopes. Richard Spitzer, Vice-President of the Saddlebrooke Computer Club and organizer of star parties in Saddlebrooke for the Saddlebrooke SkyGazers Astronomy Club will talk about smart scopes in general, demonstrate his Seestar S50 smart scope ($499), and show photos he has taken with it.

State of the Art Computer Classroom



We are continually updating our classroom equipment and infrastructure. To the delight of users and instructors alike, all of our Macs and PCs have been upgraded with solid state drives. This result is a very noticeable increase in overall speed of our computers.
 
A new custom-built instructor’s PC was put into service, improving the performance of our instructor-led demonstrations. A brand new Epson projector was installed, providing a bright, high resolution display at the front of the room..

We also enjoy 1GB internet connectivity thanks to Orbitel.
 
It is your annual class fees that make these kind of upgrades possible. Our computer classroom is the envy of other similar clubs. It is our goal to keep all our equipment and software state-of-the-art to maximize your classroom experience and learning environment.
