Astronomy Photoshoot

This Saturday night (tomorrow) is looking like an ideal night to try and capture some ‘Nightscape” images

I will be venturing out to capture some images and was hoping there may be some club members that may like to join me?

Location – Eagles Nest Lookout Green Point

How to get there – Turn at Belmont Hospital into Greenpoint drive. Follow the road till it ends and find a park.

Time – I will be there at 7.45pm and leave for the lookout at 8pm It is an easy flat walk of approx 300m along a concrete pathway.

What to bring – A torch, camera gear (including a wide angle lens 14mm to 35mm if possible) and tripod are all essential

If you attend please note this activity is at members own risk and is at night. It will be dark so bring a torch!

Any members who are thinking of attending are asked to contact me via email or text. Contact details can be found in members area of website.

Thanks Greg Carruthers. See you there!
