 | Solar Imaging w/Greg Piepol (ORB101) Welcome to the premiere episode of OffOrbit.TV! This ongoing series can be viewed free through YouTube, iTunes, the video blog, and other online distributors. OFF ORBIT invites viewers into the company of astronomy & space scientists, educators, technicians, historians, planners, students, hobbyists, and other enthusiastic adventurers who push to explore in the distance, stretching beyond the familiar for new knowledge and new worlds. Spend the evening in a professional observatory, watch planets forming, discover oceans around Jupiter, design the first real lunar village, snap photos through a gravity lens, use the Moon as a compass, tell time by the stars, hold the original books that revealed our universe, and link history to our future of space exploration. Our first episode features solar imaging specialist Greg Piepol from www.Sungazer.net . Most backyard astronomers wait for dark to observe, but Greg reveals that one of most spectacular objects in the sky is right in front of us every day. Observing the sun through telescopes requires care and knowledge, and when you bring the enthusiasm and skill Greg offers, unbelievable views of our very own star are the result. Join an experienced solar imager on his backyard observing run and see what strange and beautiful images are there waiting for us in a bit of nature you may not have experienced. Greg is also a member at NOVAC.com , the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club, one of the largest astronomy groups in the world. But first, a quick hello from Geoff Chester of the United States Naval Observatory, prepping the largest refracting telescope in the world in its day. This scope is also used every clear night to support the official naval, aeronautical and astronomical almanacs - the gorgeous 26" Clark refractor in Washington DC. It's time again to reach out, to know more of what's yet to be known. It's a big universe, so join us to explore in the distance... join us as we go Off Orbit! Jeff Cook OffOrbit.TV |
