AstroPhoto Insight, published by Sky Insight, is a bi-monthly digital astrophotography magazine dedicated to exploring and sharing the latest innovations and techniques in the field of cutting-edge amateur astrophotography. AstroPhoto Insight publishes articles by well-known experts in astrophotography such as Adam Block, Jim Burnell, R Scott Ireland, Jerry Lodriguss, Greg Piepol, Noel Carboni and more. However, all readers are encouraged to submit articles, and some, like Neil Fleming and Craig Stark, are sure to become household names as well. A typical issue will contain hardware reviews on imaging equipment such as CCD, DSLR, and telescopes; software reviews, tutorials (e.g. Photoshop techniques), user projects and modifications, and any number of reader submitted articles. Emphasis is always on the practical side of astrophotography; with plenty of information on equipment, software, and techniques to help the enthusiast get the most out of their astrophotography experience. AstroPhoto Insight, while offering enough material to keep even the most hard-core astrophotographer interested, still offers a variety of practical and basic information to be of great value to the beginner as well. A recent survey of readers confirmed its broad appeal across all levels of astrophotographers. I invite you and your members to check out AstroPhoto Insight to see for yourself. I also want to mention that the current issue is available as a free download. http://www.astrophotoinsight.com <http://www.astrophotoinsight.com/> Lastly, if you'd like to include announcements of new issues in your group's newsletter, as some other clubs and associations have done, please have your editor join our News and Announcements mailing list so they can be notified whenever a new issue of AstroPhoto Insight becomes available: <http://www.skyinsight.com/news.html>.
