Info: The goal of the online lecture is for you to leave with the knowledge and ability to shoot the stars on your own. Jack will be guiding you through the basics of astrophotography all the way up to some advanced techniques. Jack will also review some basic astronomy information that will help you plan and capture images of the stars.
Info: We will meet on at the Cottonwoods Canyon State Park Visitor Center at 5:00 PM leaving time to scout and plan compositions. Jack will share his personal approach to how he would plan an entire night to maximize his time shooting and ensure that he leaves with images he is excited about. The night will begin chasing as many Milky Way / Comet compositions and shooting techniques as possible and end with time to shoot star trails.
