Abstract:
This presentation will take you on a journey through the cosmos, showcasing astro-images captured with everything from a DSLR on a tripod to a 500mm telescopes. Glenn will share his work from local urban skies, as well as the best observatory locations in Australia, Chile, and Spain. You'll see images of the Milky Way, the Moon and Sun, time lapse and star-trails, globular clusters, dark, reflection, emission, and planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants. Glenn will also cover some of the basic concepts of astrophotography, so you can start your own journey to capturing the beauty of the night sky.
