Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
I talked about the basic principles of the hydrogen alpha light telescope. I talked about the basic concepts of wave interference. I showed a schematic diagram of the optical system of the H-alpha telescope with the etalon which tunes into the exact wavelength that we need to observe.
