Hi all,
I'm glad to announce a PixInsight workshop that will take place at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, on June 28th and 29th.
This workshop has been conceived with a special focus on the active participation of the attendees. Each registered participant will be provided with a personal account on our file servers, where he or she will be able to upload raw data that will be worked out during the workshop. In this way the participants will have the opportunity to apply and understand the concepts and techniques described in the context of their particular imaging conditions.
The topics covered will be, among others, the graphical user interface, elementary techniques of astronomical image processing, image delinearization and dynamic range compression, and narrowband imaging.
This workshop includes a tour to visit Harvard's famed 15-inch Great Refractor telescope, a key instrument for the development of astronomy in the 19th Century.
For more information about the workshop there are two dedicated webpages. The webpage hosted at harvard.edu contains general information, including lodging and a map of local restaurants:

See you in Cambridge!
