BSIG Winter Zoom Presentation – Auroras – Featuring Bob King

 The MAS invites everyone to the virtual Beginner’s Group Presentation using ZOOM.

Featured Speaker:   Bob King
Topic: “Understanding, Forecasting and Photographing the Northern Lights”

Synopsis: We’ll look at what causes the aurora, how to get alerts so you don’t miss a great show and easy ways to photograph them…

Bob King is a fellow MAS member and is well known to many amateur astronomers thru his “AstroBob” blog. He is one of the more prolific observers and commentators in amateur astronomy today. He loves comets and also enjoys viewing the Northern Lights from his home near Duluth. He writes about astronomy for Sky & Telescope magazine, and the Duluth News Tribune.  He is a great speaker on all things astro, and is the author of “Magnificent Aurora”, which you can find here: https://shopatsky.com/products/magnificent-aurora

In order to ensure the most success we are asking everyone to follow a couple of rules:

1. Don’t turn on your camera – it sucks up bandwidth and we really don’t need to see you.
2. Keep your microphone muted until you are prompted during a question and answer session during the presentation. This will cut down background noise substantially.
3. You can request to ask a question in the chat area in Zoom and wait to be prompted by the moderator.

We hope you can join us.
Clear skies!
