High Resolution Planetary Imaging From Your Backyard
by Rouzbeh Bidshahri
I spent several years trying to improve my planetary imaging technique and wanted to share some experiences that readers may find helpful.
Information that will help imagers achieve what is known as High Resolution Planetary Imaging. Amateur astronomers can now capture stunning details of the planets better than a professional large Earth-based telescope could not so long ago.

Indifferent ET: Collaborating on the Search for Serendipitous Technosignatures
by Timothy Quinn
Timothy Quinn, founder of the Dark Data Project and a member of RASC’s Toronto chapter, discusses the Technosignature Research Portal (indifferentET.com), which aggregates research on the search for “serendipitous” technosignatures. Tim discusses TRP’s classification system, research trends and opportunities for RASC members to help contribute new research and propose alternative astronomical projects for the Dark Data Project.
Looking Up! The True Apparent Sizes of Multiwavelength Worlds
By Tom Vassos
This presentation is the culmination of two years/1,000+ person-hours of research, and the results are being published by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific this fall in a book. Tom Vassos is the Founder of CosmologistsWithoutBorders.org, author of the book “The Ultimate Guided Tour of the Universe,” and guest expert on GlobalTV.
