Season 4, Episode 4: Let's Talk Astronomy! An interview with amateur astronomer, Scott Gauer, Part 2
Welcome to Space 3D and part 2 of our interview with aerospace engineer and amateur astronomer, Scott Gauer.
Originally from Danville, PA, Scott is a graduate of Penn State University with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and a minor in Astrophysics. Since 2017 he has been employed at Space Exploration Technologies Corp. in Hawthorne, CA as a propulsion engineer on both the Dragon ISS cargo resupply spacecraft, and most recently, the Falcon 9 2nd stage engine (Merlin 1D Vacuum). He has been doing astronomy & astrophotography in his free time since 2010, and enjoys public outreach & education.
In this episode, Tom Hill, Emily Carney and Eleanor O'Rangers get into some of the nitty gritty with Scott on telescope design considerations, enhancements for added deep sky viewing, including cameras, and how computers have become an essential companion to many budding astronomers, particularly for post-image processing.
