SUMMARY:Guest Speaker - Dr Lee Spitler - Macquarie University
LOCATION:Green Point Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Huntsman Telescope
In this talk I give an update about the <

rtments/faculty-of-science-and-engineering/departments-and-centres/departme
nt-of-physics-and-astronomy/facilities/huntsman-telescope" title="Huntsman
Telescope web site">Huntsman Telescope, a new astronomy observing syste
m that makes use of an array of Canon lenses to take images of extremely fa
int astronomical sources. I'll describe the science motivation, show prelim
inary data and give an update on how the commissioning of the system at Sid
ing Spring Observatory. I will also discuss ambitious plans to launch a sma
ll satellite into space and perform similar observations at infrared wavele
ngths of light.
Dr Lee Spitler
<
h4>Senior Lecturer in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Macquarie University
My research aims to improve our understanding of how galaxies form and e
volve through cosmic times. Galaxies host all the really interesting things
about the universe -- stars, dust, life, etc -- so their study can tell us
a lot about the universe we live in.
I am also pursuing creative way
s to view the universe using new technology. This started with my efforts t
o set up the Huntsman Telescope, a southern hem
isphere version of the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, which uses off-the-shelf Canon telepho
to lenses to image extremely diffuse stellar structures. You can follow our
Huntsman project on Twitter and Facebook.
This expanded
into space, with my efforts to launch a similar single lens system into sp
ace with the Australian Space Eye.
We've merged this effort into the SkyHopper Space Telescope mission.
Dr Spitler received a BSc
with Honours in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa
Cruz, USA, and a PhD in Astrophysics from Swinburne University, M
elbourne, Australia
In 2015, Dr Spitler won the Macquarie Universit
y award for Research Excellence for Early Career Researcher, and was nomina
ted as a finalist for a 2015 Eureka Prize
