Program (Cont.)
family to plan around their being able to watch Steven Hawkings' universe program on TV. I knew of the OKC Astronomy club and decided to start taking the twins to that. It rekindled my interest and now astronomy is my main hobby. I finally got a Pentax K1000 SLR and started shooting film wide field astro shots with that along with getting more into daytime photography. I started shooting with a DSLR in 2007. Being out doing astronomy away from town has given me many chances to do wildlife photography, so the two have gone hand in hand quite well for me. Many of the times before and/or after doing astrophoto-graphy, I take the DSLR and walk about the friend's land where I setup the telescope. One of my favorites from doing that was getting a picture of twin fawns nursing from about 30 yards away. For the program, I will show the steps in equipment I've used and results I got along the way. I'll do some discussion on the image processing as it is some different that daytime photo processing (exposure stacking and the need for Dark frames and Flat frames as example) and the software for that but won't go too deep into that as it could be a whole subject by itself. After we come back from taking a break, I'll discuss some of the things that are available for people to do wide field astrophotography (Barndoor tracker and commer-cially available camera trackers) , which is the best path for getting started on astrophotography then answer questions...

Field Trip
What: OKC Balloon Festival
Where: Chisholm Creek Event Field, 13230 Pawnee Drive, Oklahoma City
When: 6:00PM, August 26th
It’s been a few years since Oklahoma City has had a hot air balloon festival so be sure to come out and take advantage of this great photography opportunity. Since various things will be happening throughout the day on Saturday, this will be another of those field trips where members can come whenever they want and hook up with other members inside the event. Even though the listed starting time for the field trip is later, there will be jousting at 4:00 PM and a parachute team at 5:00 PM, if folks want to photograph those events. At 6:30PM, there will be a balloon flight, weather permitting. Then at 7:00PM, there will be a display of special shape balloons, a balloon glow at 8:30PM, and the evening will conclude with a fireworks display at 9:30PM. There is no admission fee, but it does cost to park. Parking passes may be purchased on the day of the event for $20/car, but if you purchase online in advance, the parking pass is $10. If you’re planning to attend, it is recommended to purchase your parking pass in advance since the allotted parking areas may fill up. Parking passes may be purchased in advance on the festival’s website: www.okcbf.com. Additional information about the festival can be found there, too. Feel free to contact the field trip coordinator by phone if needed. Tommy Evans (405) 919-4338
