After the installation of your 2008 DAS Officers and E-Board members, Bryan White will present to us his 3 dimensional Astro Images, including his aurora pictures. For those of you who have never had the opportunity to see Bryan’s work, it is truly breathtaking! Bryan has presented to the DAS several times in the past, and his 3-D nightscapes never fail to overwhelm the audience. Bryan first became interested in Astronomy when he was 7 years old, living on his Family’s 80 acre farm in Michigan. There, far from any light pollution, His father and him had the opportunity to observe Comet Mrkos a full night before Astronomers announced it’s discovery to the general public. After that first observing experience Bryan was hooked, reading every issue of Sky and Telescope and any other astronomical publication he could find. As his skills developed, he began taking pictures of comets, stars and the Aurora Borealis. In this Pursuit, Bryan has journeyed from the far northern reaches of Canada to southern Florida and many places in-between to capture in 3-dimensional glory the wonders of the night sky. Bryan has had a number of his images displayed publicly in museums around the country and also for the planetarium film “Deep Impact Mission”, which was developed for NASA by Colorado University. Bryan was also awarded best picture in the general category at the 1992, 93, 94, 95 and 1996 Winter Star Parties. His pictures have appeared in Sky and Telescope, Astronomy, The Reflector, and publications of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Good food, good fellowship and truly awe-inspiring 3 dimensional astronomical images will make this a night that will be long remembered. |
