Al buttonholed me after the presentations. He asked when I was going to do a workshop on astrophotographic image processing. Ah... Not for a long time.
I didn't do image processing training. I explained that Dietmar, Richard, Paul, and others are the best to talk to about these matters. And if he pitched it right, they might offer to coordinate a workshop. An adjunct, perhaps, to the Imaging Workshop, which has broad objectives. (Deep inside, though, I knew that this would require an enthusiastic photographer willing to put in some development time.)
These potential sessions are not to be confused with my Stellarium level 1 (i.e. basic, raw beginner) workshop or the impending Stellarium level 2 (telescope control, software customisation) workshop.
Al was still feeling a little perturbed that Richard, with a tiny refractor, was cracking off great images, and he couldn't get his 'scope tracking...
He was alluding to telescope control issues now. I told him that I helped a proximal member with a number of foundational issues (polar alignment for example). You gotta sort those before you worry about image processing...
