Imaging Session 23 - July 4th at 8.15pm

[Mike]

The 23rd Imaging Session will be held on Friday 4th July at 8.15pm (Note change of start time)
PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 8.15PM !!!!!!

This is for the astrophotographers or people interested in learning about astrophotography to get together and do some imaging. Anyone else who wants to come to watch and learn, or just do some observing is also welcome. No equipment or prior knowledge is needed.

Hot and cold drinks and nibbles are provided.

You are welcome to stay overnight if it is clear and you wish to do some astrophotography (or watch others do it). Bring a sleeping bag if you are staying overnight. Bring an extension lead if you need mains power. You are more than welcome to bring your own equipment along.

Please note that anyone is welcome, even if you have no equipment and just want to watch and learn.

If you wish me to do a talk on  specific subject related to astrophotography I will be more than wiling to do so. However, please give me at least 7 days notice prior to the meeting to give me time to prepare. If it is clear we will go outside and do some astrophotography and you will get a chance to watch and learn. If it is cloudy we will stay inside and do a presentation or just haev an informal chat about whatever you wish.

These sessions are very informal and relaxed and it is a chance to meet up with other astrophotographers and 'pick their brains' on a subject of your choice in a relaxed atmosphere.

For further information send me a Private Message or email me.

Mark Shelley will be giving his FULL talk on DSLR Imaging and Processing at this Friday's Imaging Session.

Please note that hecklers will be shot.

[MarkS]

I will also give a demonstration of how I use IRIS to do all my processing.  IRIS is a piece of very powerful (and free!) software but its a bit quirky when you first start to use it.

IRIS is available here complete with tutorials:
