Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished enthusiasts, and connoisseurs of celestial splendour… welcome to planet season! Jupiter and Saturn, those two magnificent gas-giant show-offs, are positively preening in the summer sky, and you, my friend, are invited to capture them in all their glamorous glory.
On this most auspicious evening, you shall be granted access to the Perth Observatory’s fine telescopes, each handsomely equipped with camera adaptors ready to embrace your trusty photographic companion. You will record raw footage of these majestic worlds, footage you may later process into masterpieces to dazzle your friends, family, and possibly the entire greater Perth region.
We have arranged four telescopes to ensure an experience of smooth rotation and unhurried indulgence. Twenty participants will elegantly glide between instruments; plenty of time to perfect your shots, exchange secret techniques like interplanetary artisans, and savour the joy of trying your camera on multiple celestial contraptions.
Before we venture into the night, you shall enjoy a one-hour theory session with the splendid Roger Groom, a gentleman whose knowledge of planetary photography is matched only by his impeccable cosmic charm. Roger will demystify equipment, software, and the magic of image processing, setting you up for success as you step beneath the stars.
So polish your lenses, warm up your shutter finger, and prepare for a night of astronomical artistry that Jupiter and Saturn themselves would be proud of.
✨ A most distinguished evening awaits you.
