Capturing the Stars

Kerry-Ann will be talking about her journey in the intense hobby of astrophotography from 2007 up to 2015 and sharing some of the stories behind the many objects that were captured along with her more recent projects and goals.

Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn

My interest in astronomy started from a fairly young age. After getting my first telescope at the age of 11 and then my first serious film camera as a teenager I began to think of the possibilities of astrophotography. Over the course of more than 15 years I dabbled in it but it wasn’t until the beginning of 2007 that I started to make some huge leaps in the hobby. My work has won awards and has been featured in calendars, magazines, books and online publications such as Sky News POW and NASA APOD. While enjoying this intensive hobby, I live in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada with my husband and two children. Currently I work for The Weather Network, a weather TV station, as one of their senior meteorologists.
