Folks - I have uplaoded the presentation I gave to KAS last night on Astrophotography. It was too large as a powerpoint file so I uploaded it as a PDF. Unfortunately, it looks like its only greyscale...

Anyway, I hope its of some use to other societies or individuals.

By the way, If you want to use it, I don't require any credit but it'd be nice :)

Dave,
Nice presentation, wish I could have made it but circumstances at present are preventing me from travelling. are those your own images?
Hope to get to "Astrophotography For The Advanced" next month :wink:
Very nicely put together.
Bill.

Astronomers do it with the lights off.

Dave, That's an excellent piece of work :D You've covered all angles very well, and have put a lot of time & effort in. This should definitely be used by anybody wanting to do astrophography!

BTW, That's a cool pic of M31 on the opening page! Is that a visible or uv shot, I remeber seeing something like this before, I can't discern as it is in black & white.

Full credit to you,
Keith.

Excellent stuff Dave. Definitely a must read for anyone considering astrophotography. I love the way its all laid out clearly and without baffling the reader with all the technicalities.

Smashing stuff.

Regards and Clear Skies,

Awww, thanks folks :oops:

We we're discussing the front image last night - it is in fact a Hubble image of M31 (Andromeda) - I think in UV. That's the only image in the presentation that's not mine.

The second to last page - advanced concepts, is one I'd like to expand - there's probably a presentation for each bullet on that list. I don't know if the KAS folks would put up with one a month though :D

Perhaps a series for IFAS?

Cheers

Dave
