Photographing the night sky has never been so accessible; modern smartphones, ‘bridge’ cameras, entry-level DSLRs and ‘mirrorless’ cameras are all capable of taking fantastic images of the night sky. In this workshop, Steven will give you an overview of the different types of astrophotography and give you the skills to take your very own ‘widefield’ nightscape images.
This event is taking place as part of the Tomintoul and Glenlivet Star Party 2022.
