Novice Meeting
The Novice Meeting will feature Dr. Bruce Pollard (President, NHAC) discussing “Winter Skies and 2021 Highlights“. Novices should also check out the New Telescope Q&A at the close of the general session.
General Meeting
The General Meeting will feature coauthor Robert Brayton (Vice President NHAC) , Cr.Photog., CPP, presenting the new Astronomical League program, “The Foundations of Imaging” (astroleague.org/content/foundations-imaging-observing-program). This AL program is for astronomers who desire to photographically capture the beautiful and fascinating objects in the night sky. This short presentation will cover the “big picture” (pun intended) of astrophotography, and explain the requirements and standards for submission so you can earn your certificate and pin while learning new skills.
Bonus Extra
