Stargazing: Night Sky Photography Workshop

[ Read: August 8, 2021: Night Sky Photography Workshop Recap ]

About the Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the night sky on camera. Topics being covered include equipment needed, camera settings, and the best for viewing. These workshops will start out with a brief powerpoint presentation (at the Outdoor Activity Center), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky around the Lodge property (weather depending). With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable.
