SASI Astroimaging Workshops Summary

SASI astrophotography workshops have a range of mentors on different subjects, like Solar, planetary, deep space, one shot colour, filtered monochrome and the popular smart telescopes.

Workshops run on most Wednesday nights and there is no syllabus so we're free to team up "mentors" and "mentees" in smaller groups, sub ject to your interests.

Hans will update us with the latest happenings from the workshops.

Members can join the APWorkshop group on WhatsApp where we'll communicate “What’s on this Wednesday”.

Hans Feitz

Hans and his family moved from the Netherlands to live in Australia in 1993. As an international field service engineer in medical imaging and cancer treatment equipment, he travelled the world and discovered Australia with clean air, a great lifestyle and lots of business opportunities.

Mastering imaging technology has been a constant in his career, ranging from sub-atomic scanning probe microscopes, microscopic X-ray and the large body scanners of one or another kind.
Hans is proud of his 3rd and last business “Gamma Gurus”, which is still going strong and prior to retirement, he took an interest in Astrophotography because it looked like a challenging hobby at the time. It is certainly something to keep his brain ticking over and get a lot of enjoyment out of this wondrous field of imaging.

Just over 3 years ago Hans joined the SASI and joined the SASPAC training course, hoping to learn lots about astrophotography (AP) but instead got a great insight in the much wider astronomy field and appreciation for the shared knowledge in the society.

Self study in AP lead to his first purchase of the modern components of a telescope rig, lots of parts and cables with software to make it sing.
In order to attract more people to the AP hobby, Hans started to host AP workshops on most Wednesday evenings and there are now a fair few who joined this hobby. Hans is keen to use modern user interfaces and attract the younger generations as well. The AP workshops are still going, come and join us.

Note: This will be an in-person presentation at the Green Point Observatory. Members will also receive an invitation to join online for those who cannot make it to the GPO.
