SUMMARY:Telescope Collimation Expertise
DESCRIPTION:The Dreaded Telescope Collimation\, will be made easy. \nAperture Telescopes invites you to this session of “Telescope & Their Intricacies“. In this session you will learn how to easily align your telescope optical part to perfection. \nWe will have several different types of telescopes on hand and will describe their collimation in detail. You will learn about the tools of the trade that are used for precise collimation\, as well as software that are used for collimation. We will learn to collimate the telescope indoors as well as collimating on a star outdoors. Do let us know in advance if you would like to bring your own telescope to this session on collimation. \nAfter attending this session the dreaded word “Collimation” will become an easy routine task for you. \nThe session will end with the observation of First Quarter Moon (almost).

SUMMARY:Astrophotography from a Plane Window
DESCRIPTION:No doubt that the endeavour is difficult\, but you can catch some very interesting phenomena and images when you point your camera out of the plane window at night. \nThis unusual talk will be delivered by Neelam Talwar\, who is a senior Air Hostess with Air India\, that’s her profession. She is also a Baker\, Marathon Runner and Astrophotographer by choice! \nNeelam will be talking about the intricacies of shooting the night sky outside a plane window\, what are the preparations required and what are the pitfalls that you may encounter. She will be showcasing some of her photos and videos clicked in the recent years\, from the window of various air-planes and on different flight routes over the Earth. Meteors\, Zodiacal Light\, Extended Dawn\, Comet\, Aurorae\, Colours of our Atmosphere\, Glory and the Himalayas\, are just some of the images that are part of the presentation. Neelam was on the first ever Indian flight over the North Pole\, on 15th August 2019\, which she documented in a video. \n \nThe presentation will be followed by a visual planet observation using the 20-inch Aperture Telescope (weather dependant).

SUMMARY:Astrophotographer's Calendar 2022 Release
DESCRIPTION:It’s ready!\nAstrophotographer’s Calendar 2022 – {Astrophotography from a Plane Window}\nHere’s a wall calendar chock full of astro-events listed for the entire next year. Be prepared much in advance with equipment\, location & plan appropriate for the future event. Emphasis is towards events happening in the night sky over India. Extensive listing of all astronomical events throughout the year. Get to know and plan your astrophotos much in advance\, and not after the media frenzy starts. All kinds of astrophotography events\, viz. landscape\, deepsky\, planetary\, conjunctions\, occultations are calculated and listed in the calendar.\nThe calendar features twelve of the best images captured\, flying over the Earth. The calendar is printed on high quality heavy paper\, 13 inch X 19 inch\, to be put on a wall. The printing is of good quality. The Astrophotographer’s calendar is being published since many years now\, and is a valuable year long companion.\nThe new 2022 calendar will be released on this date. All those present at the release would be able to get a copy for a heavily reduced price.

SUMMARY:Two Shadows on Jupiter & Opposition of 2021 (Regretfully CANCELLED due weather)
DESCRIPTION:Its never an easy decision to cancel astronomy observation plans. The weather prediction looks bad on the night of two shadows\, all weather sites are predicting heavy cloud cover. \nThe event\, regretfully\, stands cancelled. \nLate Night Astrophotography Get-Together \nOn the night of 22nd August 2021\, shadows of Ganymede & Europa will fall on the surface of Jupiter. This relatively rare event is occurring just two days after the Opposition of Jupiter. Aperture Telescopes is organising a get together to photograph the interesting event at our facility at Manesar. \nThe session will be conducted by Planetary Photographer – Sona Sahani Shukla. Sona will give you an introduction of planetary imaging technique. Talk will be followed by photography of the event. A short session to process the capture before we end the get-together. \nWe will be setting up our Celestron 14-inch to photograph the event. The telescope has a focal length 0f 3910 mm at f/11\, which will be able to resolve fine details on the planet’s surface. If the atmosphere is steady\, we may be able to double the focal length for even better images. \nAdditionally we will also have a couple of large telescopes setup\, ready for visual observations of this interesting event.
