This is our deep sky astrophography gallery
A mixture of individual and joint images from club members.
Photographing deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae can be complicated, time consuming and costly. The most arduous and expensive part of the operation is capturing the original image or rather images, of which there may be 100s captured over many hours using sophisticated astronomical equipment.
Less arduous (as it’s done indoors at leisure) is the processing of those images (a.k.a. data) on a computer, something that may also take hours and which is almost as much an art as a science.
Occasionally Club members will share the workload as shown by our first 6 images which are a collaboration between Mark Tomlinson (image capture) and Ian Coopland (image processing).
