Ii In
this presentation we will explore stap by step instructions to use a
popular web application to locate Solar and Lunar ISS Transit Dates,
Times, Center Lines and much more. Then we will learn
what types and sizes of telescope and camera combinations will be
required to resolve the ISS as it transits the Solar/Lunar surfaces. So,
if you've ever wanted to capture your very own ISS Transit Photo, this
tutorial will provide the neccessary information you will need to
assure a successful shoot...
My
newest presentation. I am scheduled so far in 2020 to present this talk
at several venues throughout the continental USA. I was scheduled in NC, SC, Florida, New York, Missourri and possibly Wisconsin. All were cancelled due to Covid restrictions. I presented this talk on Zoom to clubs in NC, SC & Ohio.
The
past, Present and Future of Space Weather and the Parker Solar Probe
and how it will revolutionize our understanding of Solar Activity.

Image Colorization Tutorial by John O'Neal, NC Stargazer. Have
you ever wondered how solar imagers get those nice color
images of the sun after capturing files with mono
cameras?
Atmospheric seeing is an
often overlooked, yet critical aspect of solar
imaging. Without good seeing, your gear, camera, and
even your techniques and skills don’t much matter. So, before we even start thinking about gear, telescopes,
cameras, and processing software, etc.,we need to discuss
this frequently overlooked attribute of solar imaging — we need to discuss seeing.
