- Abstract:
Internationally known astrophotographer, author, and teacher, Warren Keller has the ability to reduce the difficult concepts of astro-imaging to the essentials and to effectively teach them to others. In 2016-2018, he wrote the definitive book on PixInsight, Inside PixInsight for Springer Nature’s Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy series. Warren is proud to have been published as an author and photographer in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy, Sky at Night, Astronomy Now, and CNA (China) magazines, and many places on the World Wide Web− most prestigiously, NASA’s APOD. In years past, he was Atik’s North American representative, QSI’s customer service rep, and a consultant to Celestron.
Warren has presented at the Advanced, the North East, the Midwest, RAW, and CAPS astro-imaging conferences, and was host and coordinator of SWAP in 2013 and 2014 in Tucson. In 2015, he joined the board of directors of the Advanced Imaging Conference, where he is VP of Exhibitor Relations. He continues to lead virtual workshops, and provide one-on-one training in the art and science of astrophotography.
