Here are a few flyers that I created for the USU Observatory Public Night. Also pictured is the USU Observatory layout to direct volunteers and the public.

POPACS (Polar Orbiting Passive Atmospheric Calibration Sphere)

I assisted undergraduate students with the setting up of 8" SCT. Images were initially obtained using a Canon EOS Mark III 1Ds. The imaging train consisted of a f6.3 focal reducer, Canon DSLR t-adapter which was then attached to the rear cell of the 8" Celestron SCT.

The images below refer to the POPACS Satellite currently in orbit around Earth.

Over 400 people attended!!

November 21 2014 Demo Show.jpg

Each year my mentor James Coburn holds an annual Physics Demonstration at the ESLC. The theme this year was thermodynamics. I collaborated and designed multiple physics demonstrations.

1/2" Lexan Strong Box

This box was used during the November Demo Show at USU. It housed a steel pipe filled with water, sealed, and then placed into Liquid Nitrogen.

Back view

The back side of the metal bars were painted flat black to provide the FLIR E-40 camera a non reflective surface for accurate readings.
