About the Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the northern lights and the night sky on camera.

With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable.
Please bring your camera, a tripod, a red flashlight, warm clothing, and a great attitude.
