Hi everybody,
I would want to thank everybody for coming fullresto this workshop, it was a wonderful experience which we are going to repeat next year. We published an attendee survey which was very helpful for us to enhance your experience in the future. From this survey we learned a lot of important things we should apply to upcoming workshops. A key question in the survey was if "Would you like to see this workshop become an annual tradition?". Almost all people replied "Yes" and some of them "Maybe". So next year we'll organize the first Harvard PixInsight Conference (HPIC).
I would also thank to Joe DePasquale for his valuable collaboration managing the logistics of the workshop.
Here you have a photo of the workshop room:
And a group photo:
Here at full resolution.
People specially liked an example I showed on color calibration. It was of a dark nebula near the galactic plane:
This photo is a challenge for color calibration because the local stellar population has a very warm color cast. When we try to calibrate the color with these stars we get a very bluish result:
I showed how to use an image of M51 to calibrate the color of this photo. Here you have the color reference image of M51 (1 minute exposures):
And the resulting LDN673 image applying M51 as white reference:
We are close to publish some other workshops for this year and next spring, so stay tuned!
Best regards,
Vicent.
