About
Hannah’s stunning image, The Heart of the Heart – Melotte 15, won Best Newcomer at the prestigious Astronomy Photographer of the Year Awards 2022; a category for astrophotographers who have only been imaging the night sky for a year.

In conversation with Editor Chris Bramley, Hannah will talk about her journey into astro imaging, what inspired her to start and how she dealt with the steep learning curve of the hobby and take an award-winning image after just one year.

In the second part of the Masterclass there is a Q&A with Hannah Rochford and Editor Chris Bramley.

All registrants will have access to the Masterclass recording once the event has ended and will be able to watch this recording for a maximum of 10 times.
