Friday 2nd December 2022 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm
Brecon - Libanus Mountain Centre
Libanus, Brecon, Powys, LD3 8ER, Wales
The Cardiff Astronomical Society has teamed up with the Brecon Beacons National Park to deliver this exciting event!
Expert astrophotographer Alyn Wallace will amaze you with his incredible imagery, offering a background into how and why he became involved with astrophotography, how important the Brecon Beacons Dark Sky Reserve was for him, and the other protected regions that there are in Wales.
Greg Titley Secretary & Trustee of Cardiff Astronomical Society will follow on from Alyn with an enigmatic talk about the first images from the James Webb Space telescope.
If the skies are clear there will be a stargazing session with telescopes to show you wonders of the night sky.
Please note that this has already taken place on 02/12/2022
