About
In this talk we’ll look at capturing our home Galaxy arcing across the sky at its full extent, and also how to hone in for more close-up shots of detail in the Milky Way’s packed starfields. We’ll explain the lenses that are best suited to these tasks, and the effects that different mounting options can bring to your Milky Way photography. Our speaker will also cover the important part image processing plays in creating great images of our Galaxy, covering the essential routines that go into making your photos truly memorable.

In the second part of each of the Masterclasses, there is a Q&A with the Masterclass speaker, where you can submit your question throughout the masterclass and vote on your favourite question from the audience.
