Steve Nathan will share with you another facet of his interest in astronomy: Astronomy in 3-D! For over 150 years, 3-D photography has been a key part of astronomy, both from aesthetic and scientific viewpoints. So, grab your 3-D glasses and we will gaze at the heavens through the third dimension.
You might know that I run 2 Summer workshops in Maine. This year from August 7-13 is the Maine Stargazing & Photography Retreat, featuring world-renowned nightscape photographer and founder of The World At Night, Babak Tafreshi. Following that, on August 14-20, is the Maine Astronomy Retreat that Kelly Beatty & I produce. There’s lots of observing, astronomy talks, gear talk and astro or nightscape photography during both weeks, with one difference. The first event has a purposely smaller group so that Babak, our special guests, and I can spend 1 on 1 time with each participant, helping them become better nighttime photographers.
I’ll present info on both of these annual events in order to let listeners decide which is a better fit for them.
