To all active member who have either been certified as 24" eyepiece operators, or plan to obtain this certification in the near future, I highly recommend this Astrophotography Basics on the 24" Telescope class on Nov 14th.
The class is scheduled from 4 PM to 11:59 PM. The initial part of the class will be during daylight, and we will walk through the entire process of obtaining your basic images from the cameras on the 24" telescope. A very brief and absolutely basic description of stacking/editing these images into final product will be included.
After the sun goes down, weather permitting, we will go through the entire process on the telescope and see if we can come up with a nice finished image.
There are a LOT of steps to complete this operation, and it takes a while, but you should leave with enough information that once certified in eyepiece operations, you will also be able to use the 24" telescope to perform astrophotography operations.
