“As an experiment, we are offering for sale some of these space views printed on canvas, which we have captured from the night sky in Tõrva’s courtyard over the past few years,” reads the club’s Facebook page. The works are also accompanied by a page with a more in-depth description of the object and its photograph.
The goal of the venture is to raise enough money to purchase one of the largest types of telescopic tubes in the club’s arsenal, which would be useful for observing and photographing very distant galaxies, lunar craters and planets in the solar system. All photos taken will be published by the club under a free ownership license in the future. For the information of interested parties, club members inform that they have a Celestron EdgeHD 925 telescope in their sights.
To order a painting on canvas you must contact the club. All subscribers promise to give away a beginner’s telescope on the spring solstice: the Sky-Watcher Mercury 607 AZ-2. “You can’t take photos with it and you can’t see the nebulae, but it will certainly be interesting for a young enthusiast to study the Moon and nearby star clusters. Our first telescope was very similar to this one,” added the club’s Facebook page .
