Additional Information

Over the past 25 years, astrophotography has changed greatly and Kopernik’s telescopes have collected thousands of images, many of them on Kopernik’s website. Mr. Normandin will talk about the history of astrophotography, starting with film and moving on to digital imaging, including DSLR cameras, web cams, and high resolution CCD cameras with filters wheels that create stunning composite color images. Throughout his talk, you will see numerous images taken at the Kopernik Observatory, some of which have been used in textbooks, magazine articles, and post-graduate research.
