RASC Hamilton Fwd: How to take an astrophoto like this one...

Sun Jun 9 10:02:16 EDT 2013

Dear Roger,

This email concerning the online astrophotography course offered by Terry Hancock was sent out on my own accord. I accidently hit the "send" button on my smartphone before I could write up an introduction. 

The intro was to be as follows: 

"I received this email from the One Minute Astronomer concerning an online course that is available to anyone interested in astrophotography or would like to take it up. Looks interesting."

I personally subscribe to emails from the One Minute Astronomer. So, for me, it is not SPAM.

I have already received a "thank you" for sending out this opportunity from one grateful Hamilton Centre member already. 

If similar opportunities come my way, I will be only too happy to share the information with the membership. There is at least one Hamilton Centre member out there who might be interested in the information. 

Regards,
Ron Shields

I consider this to be SPAM, and would appreciate it not being sent to me. 

Thanks,

Roger

      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:

      http://www.downunderobservatory.com/images.html

      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.

      Learn more about Terry's program at this link:

      http://www.downunderobservatory.com/tuition.html

      Or contact 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,
