Adler 2010 PixInsight Workshop: Photo Gallery

[vicent_peris]

Hello all,

last weekend we did a 12 hour PixInsight workshop at the Adler Planetarium (Chicago):




Although there were only 8 attendees, things went smoothly and we reviewed a lot of concepts and techniques. Apart from learning processing techniques, we discussed the observational techniques required to use the upcoming PixInsight tools for superflat and color calibration.

This is a small photo gallery:

On saturday, five of us went to a "spanish" restaurant in the downtown:





Best regards,

It was a great conference.

I though it was cruel to make you eat spanish food in the USA.

Next time we need to do something really american like Thai.

Looks like it was fun as well as educational.  As you know from the other forum I was shaking down a new mount (Planewave AH 200) for CTIO - so missed the event:-(

Looks like you had fun, and i really would have liked to have been there to see someone use the software properly - i would have learned heaps

Sorry I couldn't make it guys. Too much going on.

Man, I've got to hurry up and win the lotto.....

How good would that have been - a Pixinsight fest AND seeing Chicago. 
Looks like you had wondeful weather.

Agree with all the above.
I have been needing to come back and spend more time in the forum and get some new tricks...
That would have been a most excellent way to get up to speed...  8)

Sadly..I am a travelphobic.
Hold the next one in Ottawa and I will feed you all !
ANYWAYS...(cuts to the chase...) any chance of some of the "pearls" of wisdom from that being discussed somewhere..??

HI all...

would it be possible to share the notes and processing techniques that Vincent presented at the Workshop for us that can't travel oversea?

[Nocturnal]

Well, people paid to get this class so I would not be surprised if the notes stayed with Vicent and the attendees.
