Plate camera extension for spherical glass objects. Work in progress
These are some pics from the plate photography extravaganza at Armagh Space Observatory back in January this year, during the lead-in to my exhibition. Thanks to the help of Yanina, James, Rok & James Jnr. I was able to bring my specially built plate camera for spherical glass plates, we attached it to the Grubb Telescope and made about 10 exposures of the Moon & Pleiades star cluster. I had coated the glass bulbs with gelatine & liquid light. We did a range of exposures, some 3mins, right up to 20mins. This bunch of astronomers are extraordinary people and their generosity, patience, curiosity, and vast experience + knowledge meant I was able to make these strange glass photographs for the exhibition. It was a really great night of learning for everyone.
