The Riverside Astronomical Society's Astro-Imaging Group will once again sponsor a series of workshops at this year's Nightfall.
Registration and other information is available at

I know we got a lot out of Mike Unsold last year helping us learn how to image and process. This year we have expanded, and are offering two levels. A complete package allows one to work with Jim Burnell, who co-wrote "The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing." Jim will be there as Mike was last year, with his major presentation on Saturday, but also on the field at night, and for the rest of the weekend just to visit and talk about imaging. Or, if you would like, there is another series of workshops on introductory imaging and other topics of interest to amateur astronomers. You can sign up to see just these if you like. The whole package, Burnell and the Introductory topics cost $50, and the Intro topics alone cost $20 for RAS members. Once again, seating at the Burnell workshops will be limited.
We all hope you can come back to Anza Borrego this October 11-14, and hope to see you at the workshops. (And bring a friend or two!)
