Deep Sky Imaging from your Urban Backyard - presented by Paul Mortfield
Todays CCD cameras allow the amateur to successfully image faint deep sky targets from the convenience of their light polluted backyards. Having all the equipment close at hand allows the imager to spend more time shooting the sky when it happens to clear. Paul will discuss the combination of cameras, filters and target choices along with tips and processing techniques used in achieving spectacular images under these less than ideal sky conditions. Paul's photographs have appeared in Sky & Telescope magazine, NASA publications, plus several books and the RASC Calendar. He uses his backyard observatory in Toronto for research projects and photography.
