When the Club began in April 2002, none of the students had any experience in astronomy.   The learning curve of using the telescopes at home has been quite a challenge.  Capturing images of  astronomical objects has taken the challenge to a whole different level.  

The use of digital still and webcams is a fast developing aspect of amateur astronomy which taxes the ability of many experienced observers.   Most children, already struggling with complicated observing equipment, only need to get a few splodgy disappointments to be tempted to give up on astrophotography.   Others are made of sterner stuff.   The web pages that are starting to appear here are from those pioneering students  who have battled through the challenges.   Other are on the way.
