Astro 101 Workshop: Introduction to Milky Way Astrophotography

Want to learn to start taking pictures of the Milky Way or even a faint nebula in the night sky? Ever wanted to learn how the amazing images from James Webb or Hubble telescopes are made? Whether you have specific questions about your own astrophotography process or are completely new to night photography – this workshop will provide one-on-one training to help you in your night sky photography journey!

In this workshop, we will focus specifically on using a sky tracker to capture a variety of night sky photos. **A sky tracker is a specialty device astrophotographers use to keep the night sky in focus while taking long exposure photos.** It is a lower cost item in comparison to larger astronomy mounts and a perfect place to start your astrophotography journey, (especially if you already own a camera with an interchangeable lens). With different types of sky trackers provided, we will walk you through different techniques of capturing the night sky outside on our Observation Deck. Then we will work with specific software to process a finished photo. Feel free to bring your own equipment or images to process.
