Thumbs up Talk at NAS (Newcastle) tonight

Hi all

I'm giving a talk tonight on Planetary Imaging and Image Processing at the Newcastle Astronomical Society meet. The meeting starts from 7:30pm at Newcastle Uni. See the NAS website for details on how to get there.

Normally Lydia would've announced it but as you may have heard, she's unwell at the moment.

I'm looking forward to seeing old friends there, and meeting new people too!

I'll bring a few beanies as well, for anyone wants to pick one up for $15

We are only stirring him Gazz,
It's not the first time that Mike has been to the NAS and done a talk, and from the great images he has been taking of Jupiter I am keen to hear him tonight.
