Simple Astrophotography at Sutton Bank
Saturday 19th November 2022 from 19:00pm to 22:00pm
Sutton Bank Star Hub
Sutton Bank National Park Centre, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7 2EX
By popular demand, we are staging a special evening dedicated to the art of taking pictures of the night sky. We’ll explain the basics to set you on your way and give practical demonstrations. We’ll cover everything from using a camera on a tripod to employing smartphones and taking images of the moon and planets with a telescope. This event is for beginners who want to capture some of the beauty they see.
Bring a tripod and camera to get the most out of the event. Stargazer Richard Darn and award-winning astrophotographer Dave Williams will lead this event. It will be part indoors and part outdoors, based at the North York Moors National Park’s Stargazing Hub. Numbers will be limited as this is a hands-on session.
Please note that this has already taken place on 19/11/2022
