WORKSHOPS
On the field Training
Meet us for a night of astrophotography about an hour away from Las Vegas. Both wide-field DSLR and deep space telescope training are available.
1 - Image Processing
Let's face it, processing astrophotography data is hard! Not only that, it also takes a lot of time… so let us do it for you!
Most of the time, people spend their night getting high quality data of a deep sky object, but are disappointed by the end result. This is often because the processing was rushed, or the workflow used was just not right. Sometimes, astrophotographers do end up loving their final image after processing their data, yet they have no idea that there was so much more potential within it that was not brought out in their processing steps.
We offer two types of image processing: Basic and Premium.
$75
Image Processing - Basic
- Antoine will process your raw files for any Deep Sky Object to the best of his abilities
- Receive the final .JPG, .TIFF and .XSIF files
- Receive a breakdown of the processes used to achieve the result
- Receive tips for improving in the future
*There is no difference in the quality of the work between the Basic and Premium plan
$250
Image Processing - Premium
All Basic features plus:
- The entire process will be recorded on video and sent to you. Live commentary will also be included in the video so that you understand exactly what I am doing and what my thoughts are about your image from beginning to end.
- Optional: If this is something you would like, your image will be featured on our website
Once your order is placed, we'll send you an e-mail and ask for:
- Your calibrated and stacked file (Master).
This is the best and easiest way for you to transfer just one single file (or more if filters were used) ready to be processed. If your attempt at stacking was unsuccessful, please calibrate all our raw files and I will attempt to stack them.
- The picture you were able to get if you did process your data before.
That way I can see how much improvement I can make and what to expect.
2 - Workshops
In-person Astrophotography Workshops!
Location: Las Vegas desert (about 45-60 minutes drive away from the Las Vegas Strip).
Time: Sunset to deep into the night! The workshop lessons will be covered in a few hours, but we will keep shooting until you get tired :)
What to bring: If you do not have any gear, you will be able to use our equipment. You will have full use of our entire Astrophotography equipment during this night, and use it under our guidance to get a beautiful image of your desired target! If you already own a camera or full astrophotography setup, we recommend bringing it so we can help you get familiar with it!
If you live near Las Vegas or plan to visit soon, and would like to get a private astrophotography lesson under the dark desert sky, pick us as your teachers!
We offer two types of workshops, widefield DSLR astrophotography, and deep-sky imaging with a telescope.
