Introduction to Astrophotography
Wednesday 28th February 2024 from 19:30pm to 22:00pm
Jodrell Bank
University of Manchester, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 9DL
Join the team from Jodrell Bank for an informal and fun session that includes an introductory workshop co-presented by Jodrell Bank Observatory’s Dr Anthony Holloway, along with a chance for you to try out your equipment on-site at Jodrell Bank with expert guidance.
You’ll learn how to use your DSLR or Compact System Camera to get started in Astrophotography. You’ll also discover how you can use simple equipment, such as a tripod, to capture different images of the night sky, from planets and constellations to the colours of stars and star trails. There’ll be a chance to look at additional equipment you can use to expand the range of images you make.
Please note that this has already taken place on 28/02/2024
