Michael Cook wanted to relocate his original "Newcastle Observatory" in Newcastle, Ontario to a new location in the country, north of Port Hope.

With these winter months making astro imaging difficult, Claudio Oriani shows us how he solved this problem with a hardware and software solution.

Manu Mukerji wanted to expand his photography hobby and decided to try astrophotography. In this presentation, Manu explains the joys and the frustrations in becoming a better astrophotographer.
