SomeGeneralReferences

Placed here are some general references that might be useful for the participants of the astrophotography and image processing workshop

  • Remote Observing possibility at Kitt Peak

http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/remote.html

If you do not yet have the equipment to do astrophotography on your own, consider applying for telescope time here, or perhaps a planetarium or amateur association that you are a part of, could purchase some time on this for you. You could obtain some images from which you might be able to think of pulling out some learning science.

  • Freeware for webcam imaging

http://www.noao.edu/outreach/kpvc/imaging-workshop/essential-software.html

A webcam does not cost that much. Try purchasing one and bring it to the workshop, if you wish to work together with a group learning to get the maximum out of a webcam :-) There is a U-tube demonstration of it somewhere, do have a look.
