Lunar Imaging Seminars

The moon is the most detailed object visible to amateur astronomers. And, due to its size and brightness, it is also the easiest celestial object to photograph. Nonetheless, lunar astrophotography introduces challenges that need to be understood and overcome to produce the best results.

The 2-part lunar imaging seminar at KW Telescope teach novices how to take outstanding photographs of the moon using simple equipment.

In Part 1 we discuss the various techniques for taking pictures with vidoe cameras, digital point and shoot cameras, Digital SLRs and CCDs. An imaging assignment is given at the end of the class and those who wish to complete it are asked to bring in their images for Part 2 of the meeting.

Part 2 is usually scheduled 4 to 6 weeks after Part 1 to allow time for students to complete the assignments. Part 2 focuses on data processing with emphasis on using the freeware Registax to select, align and combine lunar images into completed works or art!
