Astro-imaging Without the Camera | Randall Museum

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Michael Portuesi, past-president of the SF Amateur Astronomers, for a presentation on Astro-imaging Without the Camera. Portuesi will showcase the work of some great astronomical sketchers of the past and present, and outline the many reasons why sketching remains a valuable and meaningful pursuit, even in light of modern digital imaging. Discover tools and techniques you can use to create sketches of astronomical objects in the solar system and learn methods for getting the best sketches regardless of the type of telescope or binoculars used. Portuesi will also give advice on how to use imaging applications to scan and process sketches, just like astroimagers with cameras do.
