Title: Imaging Session March 2011
Post by: Carole on Feb 27, 2011, 14:46:55
The next Imaging session is at my house on Friday 25th March at 8pm.

Can I have suggestions for things people would like demonstrated and I will try to organise if possible.

You are of course welcome to bring your equipment and image should a miracle happen and we get clear skies.

Can I get some idea of who is coming on Friday.  As I have had no suggestions, if no imaging is possible I plan to demonstrate some post-processing.

If it looks like the skies will be clear, please bring your imaging kit and extension leads.

Thanks
Carole

Doug
Rose
Mike (is Cris coming too?)
Yvonne
Paul
Another at 9pm forget his name, sorry

I'll cater for six then.  If any-one else is coming let me know.
Looks like it's going to be possible to do some imaging, so we can use my kit I've got two mounts.
Also can use my ETX for observing.

I've got the processing we can do as well which won't take too long, and Doug wants a demo on Registax.

Thanks Doug,

Shame it clouded over but at least we got a few things done and Yvonne and Paul got to see Saturn through the haze.
