Capturing the Cosmos: Astrophotography by the Bath Astronomers
The exhibition will allow visitors to compare drawings William Herschel and his son, John, made of observations from their telescope to photographs of the same celestial objects taken today. This series of digital reproductions of historic drawings, kindly provided by the Royal Astronomical Society and Royal Society, demonstrates the contrast between how observations would have been recorded over 200 years ago and how we capture them now.
