Dwarfers! Astro-nuts,

Ready to take your DWARF scope galaxy captures to the next level this season?

I've just published Part 1 of our new "Galaxy Season Tips & Tricks" course on the DwarfVision website – this first installment is entirely FREE for everyone!

In Part 1, we cover:

• Maximizing your data at the scope: from the importance of dark skies and polar alignment to nailing exposure, gain, and total integration time.

• Essential first steps in post-processing with SIRIL: including using the OSC Preprocessing script, the crucial role of Plate Solving, and achieving better final colour results with Photometric Colour Calibration.

This is all about helping you get the best possible foundation for your galaxy images.
