Class 6–July 5, 2011 8pm-11pm
Image calibration
Color CCD
Hands On Lab -Color CCD Astrophotography
This day the clouds are everywhere you look so no hands on lab. With that in mind, the lecture go on a different pace and that is a good thing because this is the session everyone is waiting for, including my fan(s) here. ;D Yes, this would be the pre-requisite section for stacking. It is a good session, at least for me. Compulsory lecture attendance can work sometimes especially if you don't want to read it on your own. There is no reading material for the class although there are a list of websites for references. The same list we amateur astronomers already use.
If the weather allows for a demonstration on CCD camera imaging, this would had been one very happy evening.
Two more classes to go. Yay!
Next week . . .
