Experiments in Film

The Evidence in Pictures

You have been warned, our members are out there in the dark with their cameras, tripods and scopes. There is only one thing certain: the sample collection here will grow on you. We will try to keep it under control.  

Some have threatened to bring us their CCD experiments. Hold on to your rods and cones!
