About this Event

Why do people bother with astrophotography, especially when high quality images are available for free from professional telescopes? In this presentation you will learn about the joy and magic of capturing images of cosmic objects, understand what is being captured, and details of how to go about it! Learn about what’s in an image – the exciting physics seen in an image. Understand the different flavors of Astrophotography: Smart Phones, Digital Cameras, Electronic Telescopes and Dedicated Astrophotography Cameras. How to capture differing types of images such as nightscapes, solar system and deep space images. And lastly learn about astrophotography image processing for Solar System and Deep Space.

Whether you just want to learn more about how these images are created so you can appreciate them; want to start creating them yourself; or are an experienced astrophotographer wanting improve (and share your experience with us), there is something for everyone in Chanan’s presentation!
