As a member of NASA Saturn Observation Campaign, I held my first event on 6 March 2008 at our school basketball field at 7.30pm.
Things were not very smooth at first as we plan this event urgently within 2 days. As I foresaw that the weather might be fooling us so we borrowed a projector and panel. I saluted my club president (I’m currently a consultant) as she could borrow them in such a short period.
On that night, we had little guests when the event started as the clouds were still hovering around us. Luckily, the wind blew them away in 45 minutes. Within this period, we setup the projector and the panel. It was a shame that we only got the projector ready when the clouds were dissipated. The presentation telescope, 8″ LX90 was also ready by that time.
Since Saturn was blocked by the building at that time, we observed the M42, Great Orion Nebula first. Public were amazed by the nebulosity of M42. At the same time, we showed them the view they could get with camera by using projector. The image below amazed them the most.
Finally, I announced that the Saturn was finally available. They were so excited that they rushed to line up behind the telescope. Although the tilt of the Saturnian rings was getting lesser, they were still satisfied with the result. Most of the people had their first time view of Saturn. We also showed them not less than 10 photos taken by Cassini. Again, the photo posted at the most top highly attracted public’s eyeballs just as what happened here.


Development of digital technologies occurs prompt rates. Does not lag behind progress and digital TV. Speaking about digital TV, we first of all mean satellite TV. The digital satellite TV becomes more and more accessible to simple users. The market paid satellite tv also is not necessary on a place. The new digital standard of TV of high clearness HDTV actively develops and takes root. The satellite TV becomes more and more directed on the spectator. Besides digital quality of the image, advantage of satellite systems also is also the extensive cover zone of the companion.
