2020 Plan!
Added 2020-02-06 18:41:07 +0000 UTCHere is the start of a *rough* plan for videos in 2020. I will continue to edit it as I get new ideas or I have to change plans due to weather and circumstance. Let me know in the comments if there are any you particularly want to see! Or if you have any ideas not on the list. I am saving printing for April as that is the heart of "galaxy season" where I typically am not shooting much as my interest is really nebulae.

I know a guy in my astronomy club who is an expert in creating awesome EAA setups on the cheap. After the virus passes, I will try to film his setup, and maybe get an interview. Thanks for the idea.

2020-05-23 14:21:27 +0000 UTCOne project I would be interested is video-astronomy (aka EAA- Electronically Assisted Astronomy). This is something in between observational astronomy and astrophotography. You use much cheaper equipment and they say that one can do it from their balcony at the city center. It doesn't require long time exposures, nor filters, or post-processing. Just a mount, telescope a camera and laptop. People use that video later to extract a photo out of it.
