Links to Astrophotographers with Resourceful Articles
One of the most important sites on the
web. Scott Hammonds has captured the motivation behind Christian
astrophotographers with the website
Scott has written devotions accompanying beautiful astrophotography by Christian astronomers. Please take a moment to check out the site. I believe you will be blessed.
My humble attempts at astrophotography
would not have been possible without the online resources made available by
these groups and
individuals.
The
Astrophotography Mailing List (APML): Search the
archives of this most resourceful film imaging listserv and you will likely find
the answer to your film imaging questions.
The SBIG Yahoo
Group. The world's finest CCD imagers participate in discussions
on this list.
Rob
Gendler - The finest aesthetic CCD imaging on the
planet. Great articles on Photoshop mosaic, luminance layering, and
multiple luminance layering.
Jerry Lodriguss:
Mr. Lodriguss utilizes an Astrophysics refractor (and that is why I now have one). Jerry
has the most useful information on astrophotography and digitally enhancing images on the
web. His images provide inspiration and direction to my astrophotography pursuit. I have
employed many of his digital enhancement techniques on my images. Things like reducing
uneven field illumination, enhancing contrast, and stacking negatives. He
is the fountain of information on astrophotography and I am eternally
indebted to him for sharing his expertise with the world. Go to Mr. Lodriguss' web
site if you want to know about:
