THE APPRENTICE
NAME: Brian Johns
CAMERA: Nikon D7500
Brian is an engineering designer from Gloucestershire and is so keen on astrophotography, he bought a van just so he has a place to kip when out visiting the UK’s dark skies. He’s hoping to upgrade his camera to a Nikon D750 in the near future and has just received his first-star tracker. He’s hoping Josh can help him put the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer to good use and help further his understanding of the night sky.
THE PRO
NAME: Josh Dury
CAMERA: Nikon D7500
Josh is an astrophotographer, filmmaker, and night-sky conservationist. His interest in astronomy started at the tender age of seven and he’s since travelled far and wide to witness celestial events. He uses photography and filmmaking as a way to promote conservation and highlight the effects of light pollution. His in-depth understanding of the night sky is sure to broaden Brian’s horizons.

When Josh and Brian met amongst the neolithic standing stones at Avebury – home to the largest stone circle in Europe – the hardest part of their Astro photoshoot was already over. Careful planning (and a strategic postponement) had rewarded them with clear skies and a new moon – ideal conditions for shooting the Milky Way.
