I had attended the Sky Photo Trip in Sept 2010, when it was conducted for the first time. While the weather conditions weren’t very favourable at that time, but the image processing and equipment handling sessions with Ajay Talwar were incredible. There was a lot to learn from those sessions.
I’m impressed at the unique ethos I sense about Aperture Telescopes, that of complementing a ‘do-it-yourself’ culture, rather than replacing it only for commercial gain!
Fantastic!!

Sky Photo Trip was an excellent endevour to set the bar very high for Indian astrophotographers and go beyond the basics of astrophotography. There is simply a LOT that goes behind taking inspiring and world class astrophotos – from meticulous detailing, extensive instrumentation and procedures, hours of post processing, to decades of experience – Ajay Talwar shared everything unreservedly and enthusiastically with all the participants. It was a great opportunity to be at a scenic dark sky location, with tons of high quality equipment and expert guidance. It was great to be with passionate bunch of people from all over India (and one of them all the way from Duabi)
Messier Marathon 2010. Saturday, 13th March 2010 the Messier Marathon at Majhkhali was conducted using the 20 inch Aperture Telescope. While pointing above 45° the huge telescope requires a ladder, but that is no deterrant for finding the messier objects using the Telrad finder. In fact finding objects is simple and intutive, finishing the Messier Marathon is a breeze. The motion of the telescope is smooth, following a messier object as it moves in the sky is very easy even from the top of the ladder. Vishnu Rethinam, a long time Messier Marathon runner used the 20 inch Aperture Telescope exclusively to run the marathon this year.
SKY PHOTO TRIP –Astrophotography workshop is considered the best in India. Held two times a year always held under the pristine night sky of the Himalayas. The first edition of Sky Photo Trip was held in 2010, and there have been Sixteen Editions of Sky Photo Trip till now. We hope to resume once the covid conditions have stabilised.
