Dear Ron,

Here's a
rare offer for all you astrophotographers, both current and would-be...
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. 
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.  
And after a
few months, you'll be able to take images this:

and even
this...

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:

One of
Terry's past students, Tom Striegal of Wisconsin, says of this training
program...
"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".
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.

Terry directly at terry at downunderobservatory.com  
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.

Clear skies,
