Imaging Section

A new section with the results of images taken by club members.  At present it will contain just the favorite images taken by the membership, but may be expanded to include details on our equipment and perhaps a few articles on the techniques used to take these images.

Monitor Adjustment

The key to seeing the maximum detail in astronomical images is to have your monitor adjusted so that it displays all the possible shades of gray in a balanced way. Click this link for a grayscale test card and image, to calibrate your own monitor.
