Dr. John Hansen has been a chemistry professor at West Georgia for the last 21 years. He has been an amateur astronomer for the past 40 years. While he was an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he studied planetary atmospheres using the 15.4 inch Clark refractor housed at the Washburn Observatory. As a continuation of his activities in astronomy, he has obtained several telescopes that can be setup in the backyard. His primary interests include studying the planets Jupiter and Mars, as well as our neighborhood star the Sun. During his presentation, he will share images he has taken with rather modest equipment and discuss how anyone with an interest looking upward can develop their own backyard panoramic experience.
