Astronomical onbservation campaign in FAS

Faculty of Applied Sciences in South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, I do not have a chance to speak about it recently. Because of works and studies. Now here is a program conducted by me for the faculty. this is only a try to show stars to the Sciences Students. Astronomy is a vast subject than we thought. in that case i have decided to conduct a astronomical observation campaign. As a one undergraduate I cant do it alone. because our universities need verification for the programs. So I have decided to work with Students Union in Faculty of Applied Sciences.

I hope there will be hundreds of people but unfortunately there are nearly 80 people only. For astronomical observation we cant choose a date. we have to get a date that we have clear sky. So thinking about that point we choose 18th of July, 2013 at 4.30pm as our program date and time. I expect to invite Astronomer Dayasiri Perera as chief guest and conduct a lecture about Astronomy. But unfortunately he is unable to come here because of he was busy.

But Me and my crew who is in Astronomical Association was came here and conduct the program and we were listen to the questions they had. After the observation they ask questions about the things they have ever wanted to ask. and we try to answer all the questions as much as possible according to our knowledge. We are lucky to observe Moon and Saturn. But Venus was gone in that time because of the trees. Without any economical profit we conduct this because of the faculty was the my studying place. Here some Astronomical photographs I have taken from my sony W-570 camera.

I like to thank for the ameture astronomer Anura Bandara. And also thank to the Mr. Senevirathna, Mr Darshana Tharanga and Mr. Chaminda k. Ganegedara. This program is conducted to give some knowledge about the things we can not see on our naked eye. I wanted to tell you that there are things beyond us. try to observe them.








Here some photographs I have captured.
