SUMMARY:Carl Lancaster Presents a Member’s How To: N.I.N.A. – Nighttime Imaging ‘N’ Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Member’s How To: NINA – Nighttime Imaging ‘N’ Astronomy\n\n \nThis event will be IN PERSON in the WAS Classroom.\nPlease RSVP and sign up HERE.\nThis lecture is open to all, but is one of the many benefits of WAS membership — if you’d like to attend, we’d love to have you join the Westport Astronomical Society today. Please support WAS and other future classes by becoming a member! ( https://was-ct.org/membership-signup/ )\nWAS member Carl Lancaster will present a WAS Members talk on N.I.N.A. at the Westport Observatory’s classroom on Monday, March 31st, 7:30–9:30 pm.\n\n\nCarl will walk through N.I.N.A.’s major features, minimum system requirements, and software installation, followed by a live demonstration (weather permitting) covering the interface, setup (equipment, options & plugins), Flat Wizard, Framing Assistant, Advanced Sequencer, and a test script.\n \n*****\nN.I.N.A. (Nighttime Imaging ‘N’ Astronomy) is a free, open-source mission control center for astrophotographers. From a single interface, it controls cameras, telescopes, filter wheels, focusers, guiders, domes, and more. Its advanced sequencer automates your entire night’s imaging session — set your targets, go to sleep, and wake up to a folder full of data. It’s also smart about quality, calculating per-frame statistics, star detection, and exposure recommendations. A built-in Sky Atlas covers over 10,000 deep sky objects to help with planning and framing. A rare gem; powerful, versatile, and completely free.\nThis is a class for our member’s and if you’d like to attend become a member today!\nReady to join the class? Please RSVP and sign up HERE.\n\n \n
