Borrego Milky Way and Star Trails

Note: If you attended the Sunrise Highway or the first Borrego MW shoot, do not RSVP. Instead, post in the comments that you'd like to attend if space opens up. Those who attended the second Borrego MW (with the heavy cloud cover) are welcome to RSVP to this event since we never saw the MW.

Join us for a Milky Way shoot at the Galleta Meadows sculptures! We'll meet at a TBD location in Borrego Springs at 6:00 pm and do a quick overview and get set up. I will message you with the shooting location a week before the event.

The sun sets at 6:41 and the Milky Way core will be visible about an hour later.

Bring your widest and fastest lens, a sturdy tripod, a remote shutter release, a flashlight with red light capability, and lots of water! Snacks, extra water, and a chair are also recommended. The most important thing is to be familiar with your equipment, and know how to make adjustments in the dark.

Bring a second camera & lens (50mm max) if you would like to shoot star trails too.

Message me if you would like some shooting tips prior to the event. Be sure your Meetup notifications are setup to receive e-mail messages.
