Theo Wellington - Solar System Ambassador

The club welcomed Theo Wellington to Bowling Green as our guest speaker for the evening and she presented an amazing and interesting program about Astrophotography. She is a member of the Solar System Ambassadors and member of the Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society.

She introduced the program with an array of basic information about how to get started in this fascinating form of photography and progressed into a discussion about some of the equipment that can be used.

Her program also included some of her own images of the night sky along with other images taken by world class night sky photographers. All of them were excellent examples of what can be accomplished and discovered within the night sky realm.

The program was informative and interesting and arguably one of the best we've had for 2018. Hopefully this will stir up some interest on the subject from within the club members to get out and give this exciting form of photography a try.

Although cold weather has settled in, the Night Photography group is still active and with the winter sky now becoming visible, some interesting objects will be available to photograph. More information on an upcoming shooting opportunity will be provided when we approach some good shooting skies.
