RSPB St Aidan's Nature Park
Astley Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS26 8AL
Join us at RSPB St Aidan’s for an evening discovering the equipment and techniques required to successfully photograph many beautiful objects in the night sky.
Led by the Wakefield and District Astronomical Society this interactive session will give you the opportunity to learn about what types of astrophotography can be achieved with basic equipment such as Lunar, Widefield and Startrails.
This is a series of events making up a full course of astrophotography, with a certificate for completing all three sessions and a small prize for the best image taken during the course timescale.
Please note that this has already taken place on 28/11/2023
