Celf Trefaldwyn welcomes our next exhibitor Julian Allen. He says, “retirement with a to-do list containing astronomy and photography, a move to Montgomeryshire almost eight years ago - one of the last remaining dark sky areas in the whole of western Europe - and encouragement from a friend who shared these interests all combined to make me start doing astrophotography.

It is alleged to be the most challenging form of photography and the learning curves on both imaging and processing are vertiginous; just what one needs to keep an enquiring mind active. Taking multiple images of the same object over many nights gives you hours to look at the night sky in awe and wonder and wish that the clouds would stay away.

Creating the final photograph can take as long as taking all the images and even then there is always the desire to create a better image. The beauty of many of the objects in the night sky is breathtaking and the science behind them is fascinating; for me it is a wonderful combination of art and science. Understanding how they come about contributes to the realisation that we are all made of stardust.”
