7:30 PM - “Narrowband filters in Astrophotography - The Science of How They Work and How to Pick the Right Ones” presented by Brent Mantooth

You can capture images from your back yard that look like something from the Hubble Space Telescope – if you use the right tools. This image of the Rosette Nebula was taken in Bel Air MD. A technique called Narrowband Imaging uses special filters to cut light pollution and transmit only the emission of specific gasses found in nebula which reveal these amazing images. This talk will cover how narrowband imaging works, how the filters work and factors you need to consider in selecting the right filters for your telescope and camera.
