“In fact, it’s really nice.” They relocated permanently in the fall of 2021. “We realized it’s not impossible to be in Vermont,” Huffman said. His pandemic excursion into Vermont, however, helped him recognize that working remotely was a viable option. New York was quick to get its COVID-19 protocols in place for film production, and Huffman shot his limited-cast, single-location indie short in January 2021. He and his family escaped the city and sought refuge with his parents in Montpelier, where Huffman was born and raised. The emergence of COVID-19 and its ferocious spread through New York City postponed production and turned local birthing wards into nightmares of contagion.
His wife was due to deliver their second child in May. Huffman planned to begin production on “Night Music” in March 2020. Huffman is also on the ground floor of a production collective for local filmmakers, and he has two short films on the Quarry Project dance ensemble that will be screened in the courtyard of Christ Church on Friday, July 8. “Night Music,” a film about the Alan and John Lomax field recordings of Black folk music in the 1930s, was recently featured at the Vermont International Film Festival, “Made Here” Festival. Now, from his Huffman Studio’s office in downtown Montpelier, he’s bringing a bit of New-York hustle to Vermont.

#SKYCHART POSTER SOFTWARE#
It is also the fastest "near" platesolving piece of software if not 100% reliable for "blind Solving". If using DSLR you dont need to use any index's as such but look at ASTAP (runs on Linux(RPI etc) ,Win,Mac) and only requires 1 index file normally. I admit, AstroRookie's first step in astrophotography is on a tight budget. As for plate solving, I wonder if that is possible with a Canon 500D dslr, as it is not possible to have Live-view in combination with my slow F/10 sct (I have to be honest reduced to F/6.3 with a 63% ocal reducer). Cloudmakers Indogo-server is simple and fairly straightforward, but I'll try some "dry-runs" with KStars/EKOS. I have KStars/EKOS installed on my macbook and it is really very impressive and for a rookie a bit overwhelming, it has everything: planning, capturing, guiding and even plat solving. EKOS is a controller for every and any piece of gear astrophotography related that you can think of or own. KStars is a planetarium and works pretty much the same as Cartes du Ciel.

To me, after I discovered it, there's nothing better and I have never done star alignment ever since.Īlso, does the KStars/EKOS suite work on OS X? If you want to abandon Windows - which I don't blame you for - consider using KStars and EKOS. If you have cameras, you can take advantage of plate-solving.
