So tonight’s event will concentrate on the exciting field of Astrophotography.

It seems nowadays everyone has a camera, be it on a smartphone or a good DSLR. If you do I bet you have pondered using it on the sky – if you haven’t you may just be missing out on one of the most rewarding sides of photography.

Tonight’s event aims to teach the basics of imaging various celestial objects

Learn how to utilise the settings of your camera and what they mean and how to use them wisely on the sky so that you can get some stunning results.

Gary has over 25 years of experience in imaging the night sky and will be on hand to host your learning experience. Then its outside to try it for yourself, so tonight the night to bring your cameras along and start your journey into astrophotography.
