What sort of tools can you find online to make you a better Astrophotographer? Better yet, HOW can you use those tools to become better? What sort of apps can make the hobby more fun? This week, Roo is going to dive deep into many of them. We'll cover everything from tools to help you determine if your 'scope is sampled properly, to whether the seeing is good tonight, and many other things you may or may not know about!

Big news! We're starting a MEMBERS ONLY Discord! If you are interested in becoming a member of the group, please join our Patreon, for just $1 or $5 per month. You'll help support The Astrocast by paying for hosting fees, Adobe licenses, etc. It's not cheap to make the show, and every bit of support you guys show helps a LOT! I'll be posting the link for the Discord on the Patreon soon, and you can join me and the other members for a private chat, and ask any questions you have, or just chill with us!  Thank you so much!

A friendly heads up, next week, Roo will be out of town on his yearly Dark Sky Trip, so expect the episode to come out Friday or Saturday at a minimum. Depending on what the week is like, it may be a skipper, we'll have to wait and see. I'll post on the Facebook page to let you know.  I'm going to get some incredible photos as long as the weather is good, and i'll make sure to share them on the FB page, so please give us a follow if you haven't already!

Thanks so much for listening, clear skies!!!
