About This Series
Our Beginners collection of talks is your comprehensive guide to getting started with stargazing and photographing the night sky.
Our expert speakers, with many years spent under the starry skies between them, share practical advice on the best way to observe the celestial sphere, covering the Moon, the planets, the constellations and our nearest star, the Sun.
You’ll discover what makes a good telescope, and how to get great views through one night after night.
You’ll get the low-down on how to photograph the night sky with smartphones, DSLR cameras and, for more close-up shots, by bringing in a telescope.
And you’ll learn how to safely see sunspots, and how to find out when the next bright aurora display is.
If you’re wanting to dip your feet into the fascinating cosmos of stargazing for the first time, this collection is for you!
