<DIV>Dear Ron,</DIV>
<DIV>
<P>Here's a rare offer for all you astrophotographers, both current and
would-be...</P>
<P>Expert astrophotographer Terry Hancock, whose work is featured here at
One-Minute Astronomer from time to time, is offering personalized
one-on-one training for those interested in learning how to take top-level
images of the night sky. </P>
<P>Whether you're just starting out or you've got some experience with
imaging, Terry's training will help you capture and process high-quality
images with a small telescope and a DSLR. This program isn't just
for taking casual snapshots... it's for imaging deep-space objects through
a telescope, so you need to have invested (or be about to invest) in a
small telescope, a solid mount, and processing software including Adobe
Photoshop. </P>
<P>And after a few months, you'll be able to take images this:</P>
<P><A title=""

target=_blank>http://www.oneminuteastronomer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/M31.jpg</A></P>
<P>and even this...</P>
<P><A title=""

target=_blank>http://www.oneminuteastronomer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/M13.jpg</A></P>
<P>Terry's been imaging the night sky since the 1980's when he lived under
the dark skies of the outback in his native Australia. He moved to
the U.S. in 2000, and now observes from the respectably dark skies of
rural Michigan, where he established his "Down Under Observatory".
His work has been featured in Sky and Telescope Magazine, Universe Today,
and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). You can see some of
his work here at his website:</P>

<P>One of Terry's past students, Tom Striegal of Wisconsin, says of this
training program...</P>
<P><EM>"Terry provided me step-by-step and one-on-one instructions on how
to use my camera software and how to post process my images. Terry showed
me tips and tricks to process my images and saved me the long and often
tedious task of producing great images. The tuition is well worth the
investment and I only regret not doing Terry's program sooner".</EM></P>
<P>Terry's program includes three months of unlimited one-on-one support
using Remote Desktop, along with voice calls by Skype for students
anywhere in the world. You can learn at your own pace, and you'll
save hundreds of hours fussing/freezing in the dark and messing around
with post-processing software by learning from an expert. And if
you're still selecting the right equipment for DSLR astrophotography,
you'll get help with that too.</P>
<P>Learn more about Terry's program at this link:</P>
<P><A title="" href="http://www.downunderobservatory.com/tuition.html"
target=_blank>http://www.downunderobservatory.com/tuition.html</A></P>
<P>Or contact Terry directly at <A title=""
href="mailto:terry@downunderobservatory.com">terry@downunderobservatory.com</A>
</P>
<P>The cost of this three-month program is $200. But if you tell
Terry you learned about it at One-Minute Astronomer, he'll give you a 10%
discount on tuition. But only if you register before end of day next
Saturday, June 15, 2013.</P><BR></DIV>
