This month on the Kielder Observatory podcast we speak to photographic artist Melanie King, and explore her work capturing scenes of the night sky via classic analogue methods. Many of us now have switched to digital cameras or even smart phones, but Melanie explains her love for space and the constellations that inspire her the most.

We also update you on the latest news from the observatory, and take a look at some of the things to look out for at night, even though the nights are getting lighter!
