July 01, 2026 – Meeting will be in-person and on-line.

In addition to our regular agenda items there will be a Special Presentation: “Electronically Assisted Astronomy” by Gary Sprague

Electronic Assisted Astronomy (EAA). This presentation will describe elements of EAA; what is it, how it differs from “standard” astrophotography and its applications. EAA is an approach to real-time visual observing using analog and digital video cameras. It offers a different approach from standard astrophotography and can be less complicated and more affordable. Images are viewed in real time on a monitor or a computer. The presentation will describe typical equipment available and advantages of various approaches.
