Urban Astrophotography & Climate Action | Women and Girls in Astronomy 2026 (IAU–OAO) | Propagation

Women and Girls in Astronomy 2026 (IAU–OAO) – Day 4 brings together astronomy, environmental responsibility, and urban astrophotography in a global interactive session organized under the initiative of the International Astronomical Union in collaboration with the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach. This session explores imaging planets from city skies, beginner telescope recommendations for astrophotography, understanding light pollution and the Bortle Scale, smart telescopes and imaging software, supernova imaging, and how black hole images are captured. The discussion also connects astronomy to environmental stewardship, climate awareness, and the protection of dark skies as a shared global responsibility. Featured Speakers: Sona Shahani Shukla – Amateur Astrophotographer; Entrepreneur & CEO Khushi Arora – Amateur Astronomer & Science Communicator If you are interested in astronomy, astrophotography, climate action, citizen science, STEM careers, or dark sky preservation, this session provides practical insights and real-world perspectives from experienced practitioners. Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction and Mission of Propagation Institute. 3:02 – Sona Sahi Shukla: Beginning the Astrophotography Journey. 7:43 – The "Lucky Imaging" Technique Explained. 9:33 – Telescope Setups: From Mobile Phones to Dedicated Cameras. 25:58 – Live Demo: What Jupiter looks like on a capture screen. 46:00 – Kushi: Connecting Cosmos to Climate Action. 1:01:40 – Biology of the Eye: Rods, Cones, and Dark Adaptation. 1:09:40 – Celestial Navigation in Animals (Birds, Dung Beetles, Turtles). 1:19:35 – Q&A: Citizen Science, Economics vs. Environment, and Career Advice.
