About this Event
Dr Lilian Hobbs
I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember and over the years I have had many different cameras.
Today my main interest is Astrophotography but since I live in the UK where we don’t have many clear nights or days for solar imaging. I also enjoy photographing landscapes and action, you can visit my photography web site to see some of my photos.
For a very long time I was a Nikon user and I still have my D4, but I found the equipment rather heavy and bulky and switched to Sony. Sony has become my go to camera for general use.
My portable scopes are Coronado Solarmax60 on a Skywatcher SolarQuest and a Skywatcher EQ35 and Benro Polaris. For DSLR imaging there is a Skywatcher Star Adventurer or a Benro Polaris, for use with a Sony A1 and the Olympus OM-1
