AISIG

Astro Imagers Special Interest Group

---

The AISIG is a group within the SDAA devoted to imaging the sky and helping others to take astro-images.  This "sport" is growing rapidly with the

advent of more capable and accessable electronic camers. In addition, astro-imaging is a fascinating way to observe since we can capture fainter details than are possible with the unaided eye.  Of course, there are recorded images to process, save, share and compare.  AISIG members have a wide range of imaging interests - landscape and sky, solar, wide field night sky, planetary, deep space, narrow band imaging - and use imaging tools that range from cell phones, to web cameras, to Digital SLRs, to specialized CCD cameras. Similarly, our experience level goes from beginner to some of the most accomplished imagers on the West Coast.

If you are an imager or are interested in learning about astro-imaging, you are invited to attend our regular meetings or ask any of the members for advice or help. Our regular meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of the month at Mission Trails Regional Park in the Visitor Center.  Contact the AISIG Chairman (on the Contacts sidebar of the website) for further information.
