Astrophotography with the CAS
Unfortunately, this group is no longer running because of a lack of a member to run it. For obvious reasons, we cannot currently use Dyffryn Gardens or our observatory but once the situation changes if anyone is interested in restarting it please contact a member of the committee or use our ContactUsform
All the images shown in the Society's Gallery were taken by members of the CAS. Some were taken with a DSLR camera with an appropriate lens and fitted to a tripod while others were taken with an expensive CCD camera or with a telescope acting as the lens of a DSLR camera. All were taken in this country and some were taken in the middle of towns. Thus, astrophotography can be carried out with either simple or expensive equipment!
