Planetary Imaging Master Workshop (Processing)

The results of the “Aperture” Indian Astrophotographer of the Year contest were announced recently. Aperture Telescopes is quite happy to be the Title Sponsor of this prestigious annual astrophotography contest in India.

Congratulations to all the winners for contributing their best astro-images. This year the quality of submitted images were world class. We hope that this contest keeps growing year after year.

 

 

The contest also emphasised what we already knew. Join me in congratulating the winner of the Planet Imaging Ms SONA SHAHANI SHUKLA – Ace Planetary Photographer. We have been seeing her exceptional planet images since long, in the social media.

This is her submitted image. Jupiter with its Great Red Spot and an eclipse happening over the GRS. The detail visible on the Planet is fantastic, but do not miss the detail visible on the satellite too!

The quality of her images is best, but that’s not all, it is her method of photography that is exceptional too. For a long time she uses an 8-inch manual Dobsonian telescope to shoot the planets, following the wandering planet with her hands, and pointing the light from the planet, on to the camera sensor.

Vishal Sharma

 

A GIS Expert at day, Astronomer & Astrophotographer at Night. The Starry skies ignited VISHAL SHARMA‘s interest in Astronomy. He started his journey from naked eye observation of stars & sky maps and now proudly owns advanced personal telescopes, mounts and other equipment in India. One of Vishal’s  image of Jupiter was selected as best planetary photograph and ranked 3rd in world by IAU . Many of his images are now serving hundreds of schools to educate the students about Planetary Sciences in Europe and other parts of the world.

Here’s a great opportunity to learn from two best planetary photographers. Sona and Vishal will be conducting a Master Workshop at our Manesar Astro Facility. The workshop will be conducted over two evenings. On the first evening we will be learning acquisitions skills. They would be demonstrating the best practices, methods for acquiring videos of planets. On the second evening, best methods of processing planet videos into images would be discussed.

This is an opportunity that should not be missed by all those interested in planetary photography. The workshop is without any charges, but there are only limited seats. A maximum of 25 participants would be registered for the Master Workshop. Register for the workshop only if you are free for the dates and would certainly make it for both the sessions (so as not to deprive of those are interested and able to join the workshop).
