Thousands of exoplanets\, i.e. planets around other stars\, have been discovered . To our surprise these exoplanets have properties that are very different from those of the planets of our Solar System\, thus challenging our understanding of how planets form.

I started off like most new comers to the wonders of the astronomy world. I now have the ability to capture a wide range of images and videos of most of the things we see in the sky: day and night on a day to day basis\, in high resolution and not just solar\, but deep sky and lunar. Through experience and self-taught knowledge\, I have come to have a soft-spot for Solar imaging predominantly. But I enjoy all types of imaging and processing\, and challenging the intended uses of equipment that I use to produce some of the best images around. \nOver the years I have built up an in-depth knowledge\, and good working relationships with many top manufacturers who now send in-the-making and new to the market astronomical kits from the basics to most advanced equipment for me to test for them. Once tested I am then able to provide advice and guidance as well as providing images I have produced with the equipment for publishing. I have reviewed equipment for magazines and TV programmes and have also been invited and taken part in many radio discussions worldwide on varying astronomical subjects. \nI am currently a ā€˜Fellowā€™ of the Royal Astronomical Society\, and I am also a member of The British Astronomical Association which I am proud to be a part of. \nMy dedication to imaging has at times been difficult as many will know that the weather and seeing conditions within the UK can be quite variable and therefore be testing when trying to capture images whether it be day or night. However\, much of the equipment I use is either proto-type or for testing. I enjoy a challenge when working with all types of equipment by varying manufacturers. I have adopted a no-nonsense approach to this work which has enabled me to capture some pretty good images in a small amount of time. This has led to a great following on social media networks and I have had many images published across a variety of media including magazines and internet and have been shortlisted and won many competitions. \nI currently offer many workshops across the UK and abroad to provide information on equipment\, image capture\, and processing. I also run ā€œSolar Outreachā€ programmes at events to bring some of these products from manufacturers out for the public to use and see on a regular basis. \nMy workshops range from talking through the basics of simple DSLR imaging to the top end telescopes and cameras. I can also provide knowledge on free software packages to the advanced subscription services on the market and how to use them. With my experience I am also able to provide advice and guidance on the suitability of astro kit\, providing recommendations based on a learnerā€™s needs and desire to image as well as accommodating any budgetary requirements. From a complete novice to the most experienced pro I can help you improve your skills by following a simplified structure. I am also able to offer 1-1 tuition catering for all your needs in the comfort of your own home or garden\, again from the complete novice to a prolific imager or someone returning to imaging. \nThe latest images will be on my Facebook page here. \nGary Palmer ā€“ https://www.solarsystemimaging.co.uk/about-me \nThe title of the lecture is: \n\nHigh Resolution Solar Imaging \n\nDescription to follow \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 Information & Safety Procedures\nPlease try to continue with social distancing and use caution when possible. \nAlso\, use the hand sanitiser that will be available. \nThe wearing of masks will be a personal choice and optional for those that wish to continue wearing them. \nWe will continue to ventilate the room. \nFinally\, please do not attend if you have any COVID-like symptoms or have tested positive for COVID that day\, or in the days leading up to the meeting. \n\n\n\n\nLivestream & Recording Information\nThis meeting will be held at our normal venue of the Quaker Meeting House\, and may be live-streamed via YouTube\, if I get the equipment set up in time šŸ˜Š \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA recording may be available. \n\n\n\n\nSubscription Info \nIf you have not yet become a Member of the Society and wish to join\, please see our Membership of the Liverpool Astronomical Society page before sending any payment. \n\nNote: Membership Fees are correct as of October 2025 \n\n\n\n\nMembership Type\nPrice\n\n\n\n\nAdults (18 & above) Annual Subscription\nĀ£25.00\n\n\nJuniors (14-17 inclusive) Annual Subscription\nĀ£5.00\n\n\n\n\nPlease note:Subscriptions are due from 1st October each year and must be paid by January 31st or your membership may be suspended.If not paid by 31st March your membership will cease. \nPaying your Subscription Electronically (e.g. via e-banking)\nYou can now pay for your subscription via Internet banking. \n\n\n\n\nName:\nLiverpool Astronomical Society\n\n\nSort Code:\n60-19-24\n\n\nAccount No.:\n28521250\n\n\nPayment Ref.:\nUse your full name (or as much of it as possible\, remove spaces if needed) as the reference\, so that our Treasurer can connect your payment to the correct account in the books.\n\n\n\n\nPlease contact the Treasurer if you require more information. \n \n \nMore information about membership can be found here. \nThe LAS e-newsletter is now included in your normal subscription cost. \n\nFree tea/coffee with light refreshments break will form part of the evening at about 8pm. \nPlease note ā€“ Doors will only open after 18:30 and not before. \n\nI do hope you can join me and your fellow members\, but if you are unable to attend\, please indicate your apologies to me by filling out this form. \nWith best wishes ā€“ Mark URL:https://liverpoolas.org/event/monthly-meeting-gary-palmer-high-resolution-solar-imaging/ LOCATION:The Quaker Meeting House in Liverpool City Centre\, The Quaker Meeting House\, 22 School Lane\, Liverpool\, Merseyside\, L1 3BT\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Free Events,LAS Meetings,Lectures and Talks,Monthly Meetings,Public Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liverpoolas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/gary-palmer-solar-halpha-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240119T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240119T210000 DTSTAMP:20260428T094925 CREATED:20231008T205314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231101T191251Z UID:12875-1705690800-1705698000@liverpoolas.org SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Steve Warbis: "Messier's Objects and How they Map the Milky Way" DESCRIPTION:The January 2024 monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2023-2024 session will be held on Friday\, January 19th from 19:00 to 21:00. \nMembers of the public are welcome to attend (for free)\, but please consider joining our Society if you attend more than two monthly meetings. \n\nOur guest speaker this month is Mr. Steve Warbis of Macclesfield Astronomical Society.
