The regular monthly DVAA Astrophotography Workshop is a free, open session for club members to discuss and share images and techniques. The date of the workshop generally falls on the Wednesday before the monthly DVAA General Meeting.

Participants are encouraged to join early in the evening for the introduction of new attendees, Show & Tell, and for Q&A.  During the Show & Tell portion of the workshop, participants are encouraged to share images they've taken or processed recently, and to discuss or show new astrophotography equipment or projects they're working on.  Other topics of discussion may include image acquisition tips, processing workflows, hardware and software setups, with occasional presentations focusing on aspects of deep sky object or planetary imaging.

In addition to some club members showing their recent images, this month's Show & Tell will include a short presentation by Tom Skrovanek about a computer system he's working on to allow remote control of his 8" Meade LXD75 telescope for planetary imaging.  I'll also be giving a short presentation of the process and techniques used to make the composite star trails / Milky Way image I posted using a digital camera, lens, tripod, intervalometer (or camera with a built-in time lapse mode) and commonly used software.
