Urban Astronomer Ep. 3 - Astrophotography

Alan Versfeld hosts. In this episode, I play a recording of one of my public lectures on astrophotography.  I was speaking to a local chapter of Mensa, the High IQ Society, who kindly made their recording available to me for use in this podcast. Brief bio of the podcaster: Allen is an amateur astronomer, an IT professional, a podcaster, a father of five beautiful kids and a barely competent chess player. He is also the director of the Astrophotography Section of the Astronomical Society of South Africa, where he coordinates and promotes the activities of people who are far better photographers than him. http://www.urban-astronomer.com Enter the code for this week into this site: https://cosmoquest.org/achievements/code for a chance to win.
