Astrophotography with MATLAB: Imaging the Orion Nebula - Loren on the Art of MATLAB

[poster]

Today I'd like to welcome two guest bloggers. David Garrison is a MATLAB Product Manager here at MathWorks. Andrei Ursache is a member of the Advanced Support Group with expertise in image acquisition and instrument control. This is the first in an occasional series of blog posts describing how they are doing astrophotography with MATLAB.

Thanks Loren. This is Dave. I'm going to tell you how we got started with this project and the equipment we're using. Andrei will then take over and tell you how we got our first deep-sky object images and how we've stacked and processed those images using MATLAB and the Image Processing Toolbox.
