Presented by Grahame Kelaher
In these two 20-minute presentations Grahame Kelaher will discuss his astro-photography practice and how he has followed Aurora and other phenomenon to get beautiful and meaningful images. Grahame is based in Perth on the west coast of Australia and operates a remote telescope in the Western Australian Wheatbelt, where he images variable stars, minor planets and other targets of interest.
He has been involved in astronomy for more than 25 years, beginning with his time at the Sutherland Astronomical Society (SASI), where his interest in the craft first took off. More recently, he has served as a judge for Perth’s long running Astrofest, held at Curtin University and is currently studying Astronomy through Swinburne University.
Outside his astronomical work and studies, Grahame is an Electronics Technician (Submariner) in the Royal Australian Navy and where possible still finds time for the occasional storm chasing adventure.

What interests me here is how work like this sits between precision and patience, because the final image can look immediate while the process is anything but. Royal Reels https://willistonfl.com/ fits that wider tension well, since technical art often depends less on equipment alone than on timing, restraint, and careful interpretation.
What interests me here is the balance between craft and patience, because images like these depend as much on waiting and interpretation as on equipment. In that sense https://oneanother.io/ The Pokies suggests a wider truth about technical https://thepokies119.net/ art: the result may look immediate, but the real work is usually in discipline, timing, and restraint.
