Glad to hear you are interested. What I have in mind would be part one at SPOC covering basics like how the camera is attached to the scope, wired to the computer, focused and operated. We could also take a few simple pictures. Part 2 could be held anywhere and could use data collected before to demonstrate how pictures are put together and made to look nice. 'Course I've tried putting such a class together before and while folks have expressed interest we never seem to get enough folks to actually sign up to make it worthwhile. Still, it's a long time until spring. Let's see if we can stir up some interest. In the mean time, I just peered out through my blackout curtains and found it's getting light out. Time to turn in. patrick On 07 Nov 2007, at 06:36, Tyler Allred wrote:
Patrick, I would be happy to run an imaging seminar.... if anyone is interested. But, as you know, the data collection part is pretty uneventful (frame, focus, start the guider, start the camera, and wait for hours!). To make it interesting, we would probably need to simply cover the basics of data collection and then spend most of the time on processing. If there is enough interest, it might be fun to try.
