Astrophotography from a Plane Window

29 August 2021 @ 18:00 - 21:00

Free

No doubt that the endeavour is difficult, but you can catch some very interesting phenomena and images when you point your camera out of the plane window at night.

This unusual talk will be delivered by Neelam Talwar, who is a senior Air Hostess with Air India, that’s her profession. She is also a Baker, Marathon Runner and Astrophotographer by choice!

Neelam will be talking about the intricacies of shooting the night sky outside a plane window, what are the preparations required and what are the pitfalls that you may encounter. She will be showcasing some of her photos and videos clicked in the recent years, from the window of various air-planes and on different flight routes over the Earth. Meteors, Zodiacal Light, Extended Dawn, Comet, Aurorae, Colours of our Atmosphere, Glory and the Himalayas, are just some of the images that are part of the presentation. Neelam was on the first ever Indian flight over the North Pole, on 15th August 2019, which she documented in a video.

The presentation will be followed by a visual planet observation using the 20-inch Aperture Telescope (weather dependant).
