This 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!

WAS 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.

Carl 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.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.

This is a class for our member’s and if you’d like to attend become a member today!
