Hamilton Amateur Astronomers: 7 Ways to Improve Your Astrophotography
HAA welcomes Trevor Jones as our guest speaker for our first meeting at McMaster Innovation Park, our new home.
Trevor Jones is the creator of AstroBackyard, a popular astrophotography website (www.astrobackyard.com) and YouTube Channel (https://tinyurl.com/ja9pbhg). From his light polluted backyard in St. Catharines, Ontario, he captures deep sky objects using a variety of camera and telescope equipment. Trevor brings his YouTube audience along for the ride, through every mistake, triumph, and especially run-ins with his black lab mix, Rudy.
Trevor is experienced with DSLR cameras, and image processing using Adobe Photoshop. In his talk “7 Ways to Improve Your Astrophotography,” he will explain the key lessons he learned through almost 10 years of trial and error.
His mix of passion for his craft, and willingness to share realistic ups and downs of being an everyday amateur astrophotographer is what made “AstroBackyard” a success. In this presentation, he will cover everything from beginner astrophotography equipment, to specific recommendations in the field, and behind the computer screen.
