Guest Speaker:Commodore Mike Calhoun, Director of STARFLEET Sciences
Join Mike for an introduction to beginning astrophotography. What is it? Do you need to hack NASA, ESA, Hubble, or JWST? What do you need to get started? Come along and learn a brief history of stellar imaging, the differences between lunar, planetary, and deep sky photography, and just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Hint: if you get your kids interested, they’ll never have money for [insert illicit substance/beverage here]. Seriously though: astrophotography hobbyist Mike Calhoun will give a brief description of the above and then answer your questions to the best of his ability about how to get images like these in a light polluted, suburban night sky.
The Sol Speaker Series features guest presenters who will cover a wide range of inspiring and informative topics on space, astronomy, astrophotography, the Artemis mission, stargazing, and tons more! These events are presented via Zoom beginning at 7 pm EST/EDT and includes a 45-minute talk followed by a Q and A session. You must register for each event to receive the Zoom link, simply send an email to capt.barbbarton@gmail.com and put “Sol” in the subject line and include your SCC# in the body of the email.
The event will be recorded and posted on SFI’s YouTube page. Participants will enter the waiting room until the event starts.
