Astroimaging Café is a potluck of shorter and longer presentations by astroimagers for astroimagers! Do you enjoy taking and/or viewing pictures of the sky? Are you looking for some pointers to up your skill set or turn that “nice” shot into “calendar image!”? Maybe in the last couple of months you have 5 images, or made 4 time-lapses that are too much for the AstroImaging Corner at our Regular Meetings. Whether you take 4 minutes or want to share a 20 minute backstory for a specially composed a shot, or demo a technique others can benefit from, bring it to our community!
To participate: email the Astroimaging Café coordinator.
Learn and practice the basics of sketching objects such as the moon or deep sky objects at the eyepiece.
No artistic talents or skills required! Sherry and Berta will show you how it’s done.
Your eyes are the “sensors”, your hand “captures the image”, and your brain does the “image processing”.

Bring anything astronomical you’d like to sell or swap, or just come as you are. Star gazers, observers, skyscape shooters, deep sky imagers, solar afficionados – all astronomy enthusiasts are welcome. No matter what your skill level, there is always something you need (OK, maybe want) or something you don’t need anymore or perhaps you just want to see what’s what.

It’s a common complaint among first-time telescope owners:
“I’ve got this new telescope and I can’t see a thing through it”.
The aim of this Astro Café is to help you get the most out of your new telescope.
The popular How to Use a Telescope Astro Café is back, again via Zoom breakout rooms. Experts from the RASC will help you how to make the most out of your telescope. Discover how to properly set up your telescope, how to find objects in the sky, what accessories would be useful to you and how to take care of your telescope.
