A teenager's photographs of the night sky have helped her become part of a science festival.

When teenager Helena Cochrane goes out at night her eyes usually point to the heavens.

"I started looking at the moon from my windowsill in the kitchen with just a little Celestron starter telescope that mum and dad got me for my 10th birthday."From there, Helena decided she wanted to develop her stargazing a bit further. Helena admits the equipment she now uses is a bit "off the high end" but says a "small tripod and a camera" is enough to get a taste."I always say to people that start out: 'Don't go in too far because once you are in it deep, that's you for life really.'To become part of a wider community Helena also set up her YouTube channel.
