Special Guest Kurt Kimbrell
We chat with Kurt Kimbrell, an accomplished astrophotographer with over six years of experience. Currently, he works with Woodland Hills Camera and Telescopes, where he contributes to marketing and sales efforts. Kurt's favorite location for astrophotography is Marathon, Texas, a small town that is dedicated to preserving the dark sky. He became acutely aware of light pollution as Crowley and nearby towns began to expand, resulting in fewer visible stars. Kurt's objective is to raise public awareness of the impacts of light pollution on our environment and the night sky. His particular area of expertise is deep sky astrophotography.

Special Guest Drew Evans
We chat with Drew Evans, an award winning astrophotographer in Flagstaff Arizona, about his journey in this field. For more than 20 years, Drew has been passionate about astrophotography. He left Philadelphia and settled in Flagstaff, AZ to take advantage of the area's incredible dark skies. He constructed a large roll-off roof observatory, which allows him to capture images from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Drew's talents have earned him numerous awards and recognitions in national magazines. In fact, last year, NASA selected one of his photos as their Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) - https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220430.html (https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220430.html) Drew's collection of equipment includes several refractors with focal lengths ranging from 180mm to 1200mm, an 11" SCT, and an SCA260 for imaging. He uses an AM5 and two CEM120's as his mounts. See his observatory here (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1739296309523833/permalink/6371386856314732/).
