IN PERSON AND ON ZOOM
March 12: Exploring with SeeStar by Tony Pirera.
Tony, a long time ASLI member, joins us once again, to share his experiences with the SeeStar: “This is one very smart telescope! I will discuss this instrument’s optical design; the use of optical filters and the electronics that power this wonderful telescope.. We will review its ease of use, how to set it up and some tricks to facilitate the set up… and important things that need to be done to make its alignments more accurate. I will also review a number of adaptations that further enhance the effectiveness of the telescope. And, finally, I will review other ‘smart telescopes’ currently on the market.”
IN PERSON ONLY
Mar 19: Equinox Party – by you, the members!
Wow, another party already? This is my favorite “program”, because we can all talk with each other all night long! And eat and snack, of course… You know the drill: bring “guilty pleasures” foods, or healthy foods and snacks and chips or desserts for all to share. Bring something to drink to share as well. “Party on Wayne!”
IN PERSON AND ON ZOOM
March 26: Introduction to Deep Sky Photography by Ken Scheben. Last month we learned what it takes to do planetary photography. This month Ken will take us through the process of how Deep Sky Photography works. The goal of his talk will be to give a non-Astro photographer a taste of what is required to create a quality Deep Sky image and hopefully inspire someone to give it a try. Although he is going to touch on all the steps in the Deep Sky photography process, he will focus on the “stacking and editing” steps with an emphasis on what it takes to create a finished result that you can be proud to share with friends and family.
