From Radio Waves to the Stars – An Evening of Astrophotography
Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania Inc
07:30 PM – 08:30 PM
Lets move further up the Electromagnetic Spectrum to light! Our June presentation night promises to take members far beyond the radio horizon and deep into the night sky, as Lisa VK7SGZ shares her fascinating journey into the world of astrophotography. Lisa will explore how a curiosity about the universe evolved into a passion for capturing breathtaking images of nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and other astronomical wonders. Lisa's presentation will cover the equipment used in modern astrophotography, from telescopes and tracking mounts through to cameras, filters and software, along with the techniques needed to turn faint light from deep space into extraordinary images. Astrophotography is far more than simply pointing a camera at the sky. Many of Lisa’s images are built from hours—or even multiple nights—of carefully collected exposures that are later processed and combined into stunning final photographs. Lisa will take us through the patience, experimentation and technical problem-solving involved in producing these remarkable images, while also showcasing a gallery of spectacular results captured from Tasmania’s dark southern skies. Whether you are interested in astronomy, imaging, radio, electronics, computing or simply appreciating the beauty of the universe, this promises to be a visually stunning and inspiring evening. Wednesday June 3rd at 7:30pm in the Queens Domain Clubrooms and Streamed. CU There

REAST Forum Night - DMR Codeplugs and Programming
Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania Inc
07:30 PM – 08:30 PM
The June REAST Forum Night is diving into the world of DMR codeplugs, radio programming and hotspots on Wednesday the 10th of June from 7:30pm in the Queen’s Domain Clubrooms and streamed online. If you’ve ever stared at CPS software wondering why your radio suddenly talks to Kazakhstan but not the local repeater, this night is for you. We’ll take you through the fundamentals of DMR programming, explain what codeplugs actually are, how zones, talkgroups and channels fit together, and how to configure both radios and hotspots for practical everyday operation. Whether you are completely new to DMR or looking to clean up and better understand your existing setup, this session will include practical demonstrations, programming tips, common mistakes and plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Bring along your radio, hotspot, laptop or just your curiosity. Everyone is welcome.
