The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group will be holding its monthly meeting and Public Presentation at its "regular year" time of 7PM, on Tuesday evening the 9th of September. We will discuss what objects to look for in the September and October skies, followed by keynote presentation by Boston astrophotographer, Al Takeda, who will be showing spectacular celestial images, discussing how they were made and what they are of.

Today's amateur Astronomer has been able to photograph celestial objects that at one time were only produced by professionals. While not having the budget of NASA or major observatories, techniques have been devised that can achieve amazing results. This talk will focus on some of those tools and approaches that can produce stunning images showing us the beauty of the night sky.

The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group (SoVerA) is an organization composed of amateur and professional astronomers, educators, students and members of the lay public. SoVerA is dedicated to making astronomy much more accessible to all. Talks and presentations are free, open to the public, and held at the Whiting Library, lower level, on the second Tuesday of every month.
