Chasing and Photographing the Aurora & AGM
5 June @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm BST
Talk by Wil Cheung
We will also have the Sky in June and our AGM at the end of the meeting.
Join me as I share what it really takes to witness and capture one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena — the Northern Lights. Having seen the aurora over 400 times, I’ll take you behind the scenes of chasing it across Iceland and Norway . The talk will cover how the aurora works, how to forecast it, where to go, and how to photograph it — from smartphones through to professional setups. I’ll also share personal stories from the field, including the challenges, surprises, and unforgettable moments that come with chasing the lights.
Wil is an astronomer, photographer, and aurora chaser who has witnessed the Northern Lights over 420 times. He runs one of the UK’s largest aurora alert communities and regularly leads expeditions to Norway and Iceland.
