Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find

yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

The existence of an exclusive hideaway for the country's movers and shakers where secret deals were done in private luxury
first exploded into the public eye back in 2007.

Back then, the fact that Qantas spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars wining and dining the nation's political elite in ultra-exclusive VIP lounges
was relatively unknown.

It was a time before Alan Joyce's tenure as the CEO
of Qantas had even started, when he was boss
of the comparatively lowly budget airline, Jetstar.

And unlike Anthony Albanese's current slide in the
polls leading up to an election in next year, the prospects back in 2007 were rosy for Labor.

The election that was looming was the 'Kevin 07' landslide
that would see Kevin Rudd become prime minister and John Howard lose his own seat.

The issue which blew open the 'guilty secret'
of the Chairman's Lounge then wasn't about a prime minister's privileges, although John Howard and Kevin Rudd were certainly both members during their
terms as PM.

But when broadcaster Steve Price - himself a long time Chairman's Lounge member - revealed a politically charged remark made within the club's hallowed walls,
the cat was out of the bag.

The political revelation - a comment by ex-rock star turned senator Peter Garrett that Labor would
change the policies it campaigned on if it won government - did not deter his party from romping in on election day.

In contrast, the scandal currently engulfing Anthony Albanese about his Chairman's Lounge membership and that of his ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt, and their son Nathan could bring down the prime minister.

The exclusive Qantas Chairman's Lounge (above) has been a well-kept secret for
years, but it exploded into the public conscience in 2007 as the result of a political furore

Broadcaster Steve Price revealed he had been a Chairman's Lounge member since 2002 during
a row before the 2007 election won by Kevin Rudd which let the cat out of the
bag about the VIP club

The existence of the lounge was so little known back in 2007 that in defending his disclosure of
Garrett's remark, Steve Price had to explain what the
private enclave actually was.

In a first person piece he wrote: 'The Chairman's Lounge is a separate frequent
flyers lounge away from the crowded normal Qantas Club.

'As its name implies, the people given access to it are
approved by the Qantas chairman, Margaret Jackson.

'I have been a Chairman's Lounge member since 2002.'

In his opinion piece, Price also revealed TV entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins was also
a member of lounge.

Wilkins had also been inside at the time and was his only witness to
the remark Price said Garrett had made.

Other prominent media figures, such as 60 Minutes reporters, actors and performers, and
well-known writers and sports people are said to be
among the lounge's exclusive membership of around 6000.

Price went on to defend himself for reporting what some claimed was a
confidential conversation in a private place, but which exposed him
to criticism over his own membership for allegedly promoting Qantas on his radio show.

Back in 2007, Alan Joyce (left) was boss of the comparatively lowly budget
airline Jetstar, and then Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon (right) had the power over who made the
cut to the Chairman's Lounge

One observer has described the relationship bet6ween leading politicians such as PM Anthony Albanese and the former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce (above) as 'alarmingly cosy'

'Why on earth is Qantas giving a controversial
shock jock membership of its Chairman's Lounge, which is supposedly to enable our elite politicians and business
leaders some privacy from the hoi polloi?' demanded Crikey reporter
Stephen Mayne at the time.

'The Chairman's Lounge is meant to be all about discretion and
confidentiality,' he said, accusing Price of breaking 'a confidence'.

The following year, before he was succeeded as Qantas CEO by Alan Joyce, Geoff Dixon was
the sole gatekeeper of entry into the club's hushed confines.

Qantas Chairman's Lounge membership was 'so exclusive
that you have to be personally invited by the airline's chieftain', Nine newspapers reported in 2008.

'A marvellous benefit of lounge membership is that the mega rich and powerful avoid having to mingle with the riffraff who will be travelling cattle class.

'Having said that, members of the ultra-exclusive club have included Pauline Hanson.

'Another lounge member is Brad Cooper, who is currently enjoying a prolonged exposure to cattle-class in Kirkconnell Correctional Centre.' (Cooper
was the former HIH insurance executive jailed for eight years
on fraud and bribery offences).

Membership of the elite lounge is confined to about 6000
Australians including politicians from both sides, senior public servants, TV stars
and actors

The 'scandal' currently engulfing Anthony Albanese about his Chairman's
Lounge membership and that of his ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt, and their son Nathan could bring down the prime minister (above the PM
with partner Jodie Haydon and ex-Qantas CEO Alan Joyce)

The report noted that politicians declaring membership
of the lounge 'which most of their spouses got too' in their
pecuniary interests that year included Liberal MPs of the day, Philip Ruddock,
Bob Baldwin and Andrew Southcott.

Labor MPs with lounge privileges included Tanya Plibersek, Bob McMullan,
and Sharon Grierson, and Martin Ferguson declared a bottle
of Grange hermitage as a gift from Qantas, as did
Liberal, Christopher Pyne.

Asked if all MPs got the captain's pick from Geoff Dixon, the
airline's spokesperson told Nine: 'We like to retain a bit of
mystery. Membership is by invitation only and it is reviewed periodically.'

Fast forward to today, and nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of
the controversial, invitation-only lounge with one
even describing it as an 'entitlement'.

Qantas and the Albanese government recently denied the 'very, very high-end perk' gives the airline
a disproportionate level of influence over the country's politicians.

They were commenting ahead of the launch of the new book
The Chairman's Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe
Aston, which has stirred up the controversy.

A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members' interest registers - in both Federal Parliament's House of Representatives and the Senate
- revealed almost 93 per cent of the nation's leaders have been 'gifted' membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.

Mr Albanese has defended himself by saying he declared all his benefits
in pecuniary interest statements.

At a press conference this week, he repeated that all of his
upgrades 'have been declared as appropriate.
What's appropriate is transparency.'

Apart from the PM, members include every one of his 22-person Cabinet,
his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.

PM Anthony Albanese and every member of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12
assistant ministers are members of the exclusive Chairman's
Lounge

Entry to the country's six opulent VIP clubs are suitably discreet,
but once inside, the designer lounges offer free à la carte
fine dining, table service and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants

On the Coalition side of parliament, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, deputy
leader David Littleproud and former deputy Barnaby Joyce
are also among the swathes of politicians who have disclosed they have taken up free
membership to the contentious club.

Bill Shorten is a member, Tanya Plibersek is still a member and so
is Teal MP, Zali Steggall.

Last year it was reported that Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb and Australian Securities and
Investments Commission chairman Joe Longo and some
of their deputies are members of the Chairman's Lounge despite regulating the
airline.

Senior public servants in the club included Department of Prime Minister
and Cabinet secretary Glyn Davis, deputy secretaries Nadine Williams, Liz
Hefren-Webb, Rachel Bacon and ambassador to Beijing, Scott
Dewar.

Other Qantas freebies bestowed on members include numerous business class flight upgrades,
model Qantas aircrafts, frequent flyer points,
and tickets to sporting and entertainment events.

Touted as 'the most exclusive club in the country', membership to the Chairman's Lounge is still veiled in secrecy.

The new book The Chairman's Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston (above) has stirred up the controversy

and Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Joe Longo are members despite regulating the airline

Even the entrances to each of the country's six opulent VIP clubs - in Sydney, Melbourne,
Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports - are
suitably discreet.

Once inside, however, the designer lounges are
noticeably luxurious, with free à la carte fine
dining, table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne
and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.

Virgin Airlines has its own version of the VIP enclave, the 'Beyond' lounge.

Only a handful of federal politicians have relinquished their membership to the Qantas Chairman's Lounge in the wake of the furore.

The select few to take a principled stand on the issue include South Australian senator Barbara Pocock
and former Wallabies star turned ACT senator David Pocock,
along with MPs Stephen Bates, Queensland Green Elizabeth Watson-Brown, and Monique Ryan, a
Teal from Victoria.

Geoffrey Watson SC, a former counsel assisting the
Independent Commission Against Corruption and a director
of the Centre for Public Integrity, has implored all
politicians and policymakers to follow suit.

'There are certain positions in life where you cannot take Chairman's Club membership,' he said.

'You're taking public money for the job and
you are supposed to represent the public. Why not sit with them while you're waiting for a plane?'
