We had a fantastic starry night up at Abriachan Forest with our guest speaker Andrew Allan from Scotland’s Night Sky .

After some naked eye stargazing we headed inside for Andrew’s excellent talk on photographing and filming the night sky. Andrew’s night sky content is truly unique and mesmerising and testament to his technical skills, patience and enthusiasm for the night sky.

After the talk we were blessed with more clear skies and headed out for another tour of the planets and constellations (expertly captured by Allan’s Sony camera).

Look out for our March Moon event going up shortly (see check my Facebook Page Highland Astronomy for details).

Here’s a small snippet of our naked eye stargazing session from Abriachan Forest on Saturday evening, with Andrew and I pointing out some bright planets and constellations.

Props to Andrew for managing to capture this low light footage with his camera setup.
