Astrophotography - Colors of the dark sky |
Note date/location of meeting. We will meet with Nevada Co Camera Club at Unitiy in the Gold Country Church This presentation will demonstrate how color, structure, and contrast is managed, processed, and enhanced in deep sky astrophotography to show the amazing structures and colors of the universe. But is it real!?!?! We will look at both “natural color” and “representative color” examples to see. This talk will also cover research that was done searching for galactic tidal streams which are the remnants of galaxy mergers. This galactic archaeology shows that real science can be done by amateurs with modest equipment, clear dark skies, and dedication. Ken will demonstrate some of the methods used to reveal these very faint structures. Ken is one of the founders of the Advanced Imaging Conference and was the recipient of the Hubble Award in 2015. He was invited to participate in NASA’s "Astronomy Picture of the Day" committee. His star stream images have been used by professional astronomers. Ken's website is http://www.imagingdeepsky.com/ |
