February 8 - The REAL Astrophotography Night, IC Public Library, 7PM! January 8, 2010
Posted by Denise in : Events, Meetings , add a comment[Note: Due to a newsletter mishap, this event was previously published as happening in January. We apologize for the error, but Howard Cox *definitely* plans on making his presentation in February.]
This will not be our usual meeting!
Club member and exceptional (and published) astrophotographer Howard Cox has agreed to give a photo viewing of his digital astrophotography, presenting some of his amazing work. Howard has presented before for the IC Astronomy Club, and is sure to impress again.
This meeting is absolutely free and open to the public! So if you know people who are curious about astronomy, or who enjoy gorgeous photos of stars and nebulae, invite them as well!
The February club meeting will be held at the Iowa City Public Library, starting at 7PM. We will be in room E, upstairs. We’ve put in a request for Howard to bring photos of his (two-telescope, computerized, clock-driven mount) astrophotography set-up, as well.
