THE APPRENTICE

BRIAN JOHNS

CAMERA: NIKON D7500

Brian is an engineering designer with a keen interest in astrophotography – so much so that he bought a van in which he can sleep when traveling to visit the UK’s dark-sky sites.

He recently invested in a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker, and he’s hoping that Josh can help him put it to good use, and help further his understanding of the night sky.
