Join us and Ed Ting for a discussion on the intersection of art and science that is Astrophotography. It is an activity that demands the whole of the participant. The prospective astrophotographer must know the night sky, have an intimate understanding of telescopes, cameras, and computers, be proficient in Lightroom and Photoshop, have a good eye for composition, form, and color, be willing to brave sub-freezing temperatures in the winter and vicious mosquitoes come summer, and (perhaps above all) be lucky. To participate in astronomy at any level is to ask ourselves the most basic questions – questions that man has asked himself from the beginning of time: who am I, why am I here, and what will be, after I am gone?
