Title: PixInsight Intensive Workshop by Vicent Peris in Katonah, New York, USA.
Post by: vicent_peris on 2014 July 10 08:54:42

Hi,

I'm glad to announce a PixInsight workshop that will take place in Katonah, NY (USA), on September 7th to 13th. The workshop will be given by Vicent Peris, astrophotographer of the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia (OAUV), Spain, and a principal member of the PixInsight Development Team.

This workshop aims at giving a comprehensive operational/technical understanding of Pixinsight to a small group of participants (m) over the course of 7 concentrated working days. The workshop will take place in a mid-century modern, private home, where we will all sit around a dining table and immerse ourselves in processing data.

Participants will bring all their own unprocessed data sets which the class will share as examples to work on. The images will be worked from start to finish; therefore, the seminar will allow participants a never-before-offered view of Pixinsight, from a beginners level to an expert level, with the goal of having a total immersion in the process of the image creation.

For more information about the workshop please visit the dedicated webpage at Pixinsight.com:

https://pixinsight.com/workshops/katonah-2014/

Due to its singular characteristics we are limiting this workshop to 10 seats.

This workshop is being sponsores by Pleiades Astrophoto and the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia.


See you in Katonah!
Vicent.

Hello
For those attending and who have not yet booked rooms at the Holiday Inn. The hotel will say they are out of rooms for some nights until you get them to find the rooms blocked off for us. The first time I tried the clerk failed to do this despite prompting and I ended up thinking I would need to find a room elsewhere for part of the time. More luck the second time fortunately with another person at the desk.

Hi
Attending and coming from UK to JFK. Undecided as to whether to get to Mount Kisco via train which seems easy or hire a car. Clearly need a car for daily trip to Katonah though. Any participants coming by road who would not mind giving me a lift daily.
Regards
John
