Fwd: Astro Photography

[Al Acker]

Good idea Jason,

Also just a note, I need to be in Sante Fe this weekend so won't be able to come over...but hope to attend some future meetings... I think having an astro photo group is a great idea.

I don't want to speak for anyone else, but perhaps we could use a good portion of the meeting to officially decide as a group how we want to run these meetings going forward?

Though I'm not interested in making our special interest group meeting overly structured, the outline below is one possible direction to go in eventually.

Feel free to make your own suggestions, or we could just discuss this at the first meeting.

1 - Introductions
2 - "Show off your recent photo" (equivalent of observing report, but likely using the projector)
3 - "Show and Tell"
4 - Astrophotography discussion of the day/month/meeting (perhaps an AP version of what Scott does at the normal CSAS meetings)
5 - Open discussion / questions and answers on whatever members want. (This may actually end up being the most useful portion and therefore longest part of the meeting)

Perhaps we should consider making a dedicated thread for this in order to make it more noticeable on our forums instead of buried in an outreach request?

I'm still planning on going, but I guess that's a good question...

Bryan?

[JasonFurman]

I will be there.

I set up the following with Mike Pach and the Colorado Photography Learning Group.

http://www.meetup.com/The-Colorado-Phot ... /56838302/

This is a lecture-type learning event for this group from 10-noon on May 12th and would like to have 3-4 people with some experience in astrophotography come and share what equipment you use and the pictures you have taken. They request that any presentation materials be on thumb drive or CD-ROM. Can someone help me get this on the calendar?

They are also asking about possibly supporting a similar activity in Denver if someone can do that outreach.

I just checked the event and it's full at 30 people with 11 on the waiting list!

I suspect this would be a good topic to discuss at our next astro photography group meeting.

I am interested in the May 12 session if there is room or any other AP gathering.

Thanks

Has anyone heard from Dave about this impending event? Unfortunately due to an imminent home purchase, I am going to be unable to support this event.

Sorry all...I've been in the middle of a $64M issue that needs my full attention. I'll post later tonight with details on Saturday and request support for any astrophotographers that can show off their gear.

Hi Dave,

I'm still planning on coming and bringing my GEM mount with a scope and camera.
