Interested in the narrowband processing workshop to see if I can pick up any tips.  Will this be with photoshop or Pixinsight does any-one know.

AstroBoot - is this strictly Astro stuff, or can camping stuff also be sold?

Rumour has it that's the only tools Swamp Thing used to build his Dob! :eek:

 

I'm interested in attending the Dob workshop and might bring some things along for the Astroboot session.

You beat me to it Hadyn.

i'm up for Dob building and Video astro as well.

Shame that it isn't before the astro boot thingy as I was going to put an old CCD webcam on the table due to being genuinely confused  by the whole thing.

I've got a few Eypieces and other bits and pieces for the Astroboot.

oooh, I've very interested in this. Looking forward to getting more details when they arrive.

Also, for those interested in Rob's narrowband processing workshops - definitely sign up if you can (and if there is space left). I attended last year and not only is Rob a top chap but can work wonders :thumbup:

Cheers

Will

I'd like to attend the video astronomy please.

Another couple of suggestions / requests for help from willing volunteers pleaes:

1) a demo of the QHYCCD Polemaster would be useful if someone brings one along.

2) I've never guided or used PHD2 so some help with that would be great.

I would be interested in joining the Daytime Photography session if possible.  Depending upon numbers you are welcome to use my van as venue if it helps.
