⭐🌘Astronomy - Introduction to Astronomical Imaging

This course provides a practical introduction to the principles and techniques of astronomical imaging. Students explore how telescopes, cameras, and filters work together to capture detailed images of celestial objects. The course covers image acquisition, calibration, noise reduction, stacking, and post processing. Learners will work with real astronomical datasets to produce scientifically useful and aesthetically compelling images of planets, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.

Designed for beginners and hobbyists, this course teaches the fundamentals of astrophotography using both consumer grade and professional imaging equipment.

We also look at Digital SLR cameras, compact cameras and smartphones and how we can use them in effective astronomical imaging.

We were delighted to welcome Heather, a Dementia Friends Ambassador from the Alzheimer’s Society, to deliver an enrichment session for some of our healthcare and childcare learners.

Through a really informative and interactive session, learners explored what dementia is, the impact it can have, and how with greater understanding we can better support people living with dementia, along with their families and carers.

The session included engaging activities, and everyone who attended received their “Forget Me Not” badge, officially becoming a Dementia Friend 💙

We also heard more about her incredible work as a volunteer with the Society and Dementia Friends, as well as her personal experience as a carer for her mum, which brought real insight and meaning to the session.

A huge thank you for such an inspiring and powerful session. We’re looking forward to welcoming her back to work with more of our learners soon.

Its our Wednesday Cafe at St John's today with the wonderful students from City College Peterborough drop in from 10am for fresh coffee and cakes! And enjoy the amazing art on display from Peterborough Art Society too!
