UPDATE 1:
The Astrophotography Workshop was very successful: 20 participants from Serbia and Macedonia worked with RGB and luminence filters. Both nights were clear and fully used. Several cameras were tested and two lectures about planetary astrophography were organized with an emphasis on the “lucky imaging”. The discussions were held about the status of astronomy in Serbia and in the WBC region and the collaboration with amateur astronomers. The images taken during the Workshop are available below (please scroll down).
