For LVAAS Members Only: This course is intended for those who are new to the hobby and want to learn more about the imaging process. Little to no knowledge of astronomy or imaging is assumed. The instructor will provide all the background required to introduce a new hobbyist to imaging. Topics will include an introduction to deep sky objects suitable for imaging, coordinate systems, telescopes, mounts, and cameras. It will define many terms used by imagers and discuss a typical imaging session including the data acquisition and post processing steps. The course will not go into depth on any specific equipment or tools but will provide a broad overview to quickly get new members oriented to the imaging process and provide the basis for further exploration.
