Upcoming Meeting: Planetary Imaging with a Dobsonian Telescope (Zoom Meeting)
By: Drew Henry, Dallas, Texas
Those who are delving into the realm of astrophotography might think they need fancy telescopes with go-to mounts, slewing capability, tracking, polar alignment, etc. Not so. In fact, you can capture wonderful astro-images with a simple “starter” dobsonian telescope. Drew Henry will discuss his methodology for capturing lunar and planetary images with a 10” dobsonian telescope including: (1) the gear he uses and how to set it up; (2) software he uses for capture and the overall process; (3) drift method, setting up and using an Equatorial Platform; and (4) software for post-processing all his images. Drew has captured some wonderful images using his 10” dobsonian (and you can too!). If you’re interested in getting started with astrophotography, then this is a talk you’re not going to want to miss! (Zoom Meeting, MAS will NOT MEET @ MoSH this month).
