Special Interest Group (SIG)
Hy Murveit
The Astro Imaging Special Interest Group (SIG), led by Hy Murveit, has a mission of bringing together people who have an interest in astronomy imaging, or put more simply, taking pictures of the night sky. The Imaging SIG meets roughly every month at Houge Park to discuss topics about imaging. The SIG is open to people with absolutely no experience but want to learn what it’s all about, but experienced imagers are also more than welcome, indeed, encouraged to participate. The best way to get involved is to review the postings on the SJAA AstroImaging mail list in Google Groups. Here’s the link.
For the next meeting of the SJAA Astro Imaging group, please see the Upcoming Events on this page or go to the Calendar of events.
Workshops

SJAA is proud to sponsor outdoor workshops where we help those folks who are interested in learning about the mechanics of AstroPhotography and Imaging.
Bring your questions, and/or your Canon or Nikon DSLR to connect to a working rig, and/or your complete astrophotography rig (battery powered).
Open to the public, announced on Meetup.com, workshops are held twice in a 3 month period. For the next workshop, please see the Upcoming Events on this page or go to the Calendar of events.
