Bespreek asseblief deur per e-pos te stuur aan assabfn@gmail.com
Program:15h00 vir 15h30 – Ons begin op die Platform: Almal pak hul goed uit en slaan op wat hulle saamgebring het.
15h30 - 16h30 –
Gesels oor wat ons gaan doen en begin die Werkswinkel met die afneem van
Son (bring hoedens ens saam….). Brett sal ‘n beperkte hoeveelheid
son-filter saambring vir afneem van
die son. Bring ook ‘n skêr of matmes, karton, dubbelkantige kleefband
en gewone kleefband of kits-gom vir die maak van sonfilters.
16h30 - 18h00 – In
die Ouditorium: stapsgewyse demonstrasie van die omskepping van die son
se data na 'n foto. Bring asseblief u eie rekenaars en geheue-stokkie
(“flashdisc”) saam. Brett sal
sagteware verskaf en ook basiese prosesering demonstreer op 'n foto van
die naghemel.
18h30 - 19h30 - 'n
Kort praatjie oor astrofotografie. Die plan is om as groep saam te
gesels. Brett sal begin met die basiese beginsels asook 'n
verduideliking van die konsep oor "noise". Hannes
Pieterse verduidelik ook die gebruik van die “barndoor“ montering vir
nag-hemel fotografie.
20h00 - 22h00 – Terug
op die Platform wys Brett hoe om polêre oplyning (“polar alignment“) te
doen met 'n kamera asook watter tipe fotografie mens kan doen met die
minste moeite en met ‘n basiese
kamera….
Onthou asseblief:
Almal wat fotografiese en ander toerusting
saambring, moet weet hoe om dit te gebruik sodat ons nie gedurende die
werkswinkel tyd hoef te spandeer om basiese
gebruike aan te leer nie. Toerusting om
saam te bring sluit in: kamera, driepoot, genoeg batterye (daar sal
kragpunte op die Platform wees), nodige verbindingskabels en
afstandsbeheer kabel, tafeltjie om op te werk ens: eerder teveel as te
min.
Daar sal tussendeur geleentheid wees om ietsie te
eet: elkeen bring sy eie verversings. Daar sal kookwater wees vir
diegene wat koffie of ‘n soppie will maak.

Program: 15h00 for 15h30 – We start on the Platform: unpacking and setting-up of equipment.
15h30 - 16h30 – Discuss the program and start the Workshop
by taking a photo of the Sun (remember to bring a hat…). Brett will
demonstrate the making of a solar filter: he has a limited stock of
solar film which he will provide.
For this, please also bring along scissors or a carpet knife and
carton, double sided tape and normal tape or fast-drying glue.
16h30 - 18h00 – In the auditorium: step-by-step
demonstration of the conversion of the Sun data to a photographic
image. Please bring your own computer and flash disc. Brett will
provide the necessary software and also demonstrate
the basic processing of a night-sky image.
18h30 - 19h30 – A short discussion on Astrophotography, also
involving the audience. Brett will also explain the importance of the
concept of “noise”. Hannes Pieterse will demonstrate the use of the
“barn door” mounting for night-sky
photography.
20h00 - 22h00 – Back to the Platform: Brett demonstrates
polar alignment using a camera and also demonstrates what type of
photography can be performed with the least effort and with a basic
camera.
Please remember:
Make sure that you know how to operate all the equipment you bring
along: you do not want to figure out how to use your equipment during
the workshop, you actually want to use it. This equipment can include:
camera, tripod, enough batteries
(power outlets are available on the Platform), all necessary connecting
cables and remote control cable, a small table to work on: rather bring
too much than forget something vital…!
