LVAAS Imaging Equipment
featuring Mike Huber
In this presentation, we'll explore the exciting new equipment our astronomy club has acquired, including the ZWO Seestar S50, SkyWatcher Star Adventurer 2 Pro Pack, and a comprehensive astrophotography rig featuring an EQ6 mount, Stellarvue 102 telescope, ASI585MC Pro, and various accessories. We'll cover the key features, setup processes, and usage tips for each piece of equipment, ensuring our members are well-equipped to enhance their stargazing and astrophotography experiences. Towards the end we will cover the rental fleet and how members can rent the different instruments LVAAS has available.
Michael Huber was first introduced to astronomy by his father, a professor of astrophysics, who patiently answered his many questions about the cosmos. Memorable events like viewing comet Hale-Bopp, meteor showers, and observing deep sky objects and planets through his father's telescopes furthered his love for the night sky. Upon joining LVAAS, Michael quickly got involved in astrophotography and has taken many photos, some of which have been published. In addition to his personal pursuits, Michael also shares his knowledge and enthusiasm through talks at local libraries and presentations at LVAAS.
