Abstract

Ronald Zincone's presentation "25 Years of Night-Sky Photography and a bit more" is about

the astrophotographer's journey and experience of 25 years of capturing celestial nightscapes,

extreme weather and a bit more.  Using Powerpoint, the teaching artist has selected

some of his best image captures in which he explains the how, what, when and why?  Ronald's

presentation is designed to be educational while sharing his passions through imagery.
