THIS IS NOT A LIVE STREAMING EVENT. A video of the discussion will be uploaded later in the evening.
Podcast #1 - Sky After Sunset
This is the complete video of our first-ever online monthly meeting, titled 'Sky After Sunset', which was themed around astrophotography. Our all-star panel included: Umair Asim, Sameer Rashid Shami, Shoaib Usman Banday and Muhammad Ali.
We discussed everything from 'kaunsa telescope khareedna chahye' to answering your questions and all the way to how much budget you need to get started (and not to mention how a married lifestyle may affect your astrophotography commitment).
It was a fun-filled session that presented first-hand accounts from our resident astro-imagers, and we look forward to having more sessions in the future.
Online Monthly Meeting Update!
We just got done with the online monthly meeting on Zoom. The discussion was thorough, fun and at times hilarious! I am sure there's something for everyone in this.
Although we tried to incorporate all the questions we could but in case we missed any, you will be able to find answers to a wide array of astro-photography questions as part of the general discussion.
We all had a really good time and we hope to continue such online sessions in the future.
The full video will be uploaded to the website soon. Stay stuned!
