We have an exciting speaker lined up for our first AAC General Monthly Meeting of 2025! Dan Llewellyn will be joining us to discuss planetary imaging. Here is a description of Dan's presentation:
Stuck in the city around lots of light pollution? Planetary imaging is the solution.
Nothing has impacted amateur astronomy more than planetary imaging because it contributes to real science. The Hubble-like images of British amateur Damian Peach paved the way for amateurs to make new contributions to scientific study. In the last 25 years these imagers have made significant contributions to the British Astronomical Association, NASA, and other organizations.
Planetary imaging is viable in light-polluted skies on a reasonable budget. Overly complicated interface programs are unnecessary, and processing takes less than an hour. Dan will present complete walk-through including cameras, scopes, software, and best practices. It informative and interesting even for non-imaging enthusiasts.
Everyone is welcome - we meet at the cottage in Lost Corner Preserve in Sandy Springs.
Full agenda: We will cover club business, outreach, events and observing updates, and then welcome our speaker.
