"SkyTools and Electronic Assisted Astronomy"

Featuring Greg Crinklaw

The popularity of Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA) is growing rapidly, offering observers a way to combine the joys of live visual observing with the capabilities of modern cameras. Greg Crinklaw, developer of SkyTools, will introduce the audience to what makes SkyTools uniquely powerful for planning observations. He will also share how SkyTools is incorporating support for EAA, bringing the same innovative features to this field that it already provides for visual observing and long-exposure imaging.

Greg Crinklaw is an astronomer from Cloudcroft New Mexico, who is best known as the developer of the SkyTools observing software. Greg holds BS, and MS degrees in astronomy and an MS in physics. He once worked for NASA as a software engineer in support of the Mars Orbiter Camera, which took thousands of pictures from Mars orbit for a decade. Greg considers himself to be a professionally trained life-long amateur astronomer, who has managed to do just about every kind of astronomy at one time or another.
