Astrophotographer Jeremy Phillips (FRAS) describes himself as ‘an Earthling locked in a futile battle with clouds and light pollution’.

Based in south London, he must contend with a severe city sky-glow when capturing deep sky objects from his back garden. However, for a few years now, Prof David Rees and wife Wendy have generously provided Jeremy with a welcome escape route to dark skies above their home in East Sussex. The result is a series of images including nebulas, galaxies, supernovas, comets, moon shots, meteors, and the Milky Way.

In this presentation, Jeremy will display all these targets, but settle in more detail on the process of taking Milky Way images, since these require DSLRs or full-frame mirrorless cameras and avoid the need for expensive equipment.
