Astro Photography

 

I can proudly say I was very involved with the photographing of the images, for the Photographic Atlas of the Stars. A highly acclaimed work by the Late "Douglas" H.J.P.Arnold, the Late Paul Doughier and the Highly Distinguished, Sir Patrick Moore.

This publication distinguished itself by receiving, HRH The Queen's award, for "The best non-professional Scientific Publication for 1997.!!!!!!!"

This combined venture led to me meeting "Douglas" H.J.P. Arnold, a truly exceptional Astro photographer and person. Douglas was my mentor with regard to Astro-photography.

One of his many publications, "Astro Photography, an introduction to film and digital imaging" is published by Philip's. 

(ISBN 0-540-08312-7)

A number of my images are in his other publications as well.

Images and articles of mine, has been published in Sky and Telescope and Astronomy Magazines as well as other South African Magazines.

Astro Photography leads to more personal satisfaction, challenges, knowledge, unexpected discoveries and exciting astronomy..

No two nights are ever the same, anywhere !!!!
