Beginning Astrophotography - Assemble, calibrate and shoot your first nebula, together

You've just bought your setup and you're afraid you don't know how to use it? This course is for you.

Why take this Astrophotography Workshop?

You've invested in a mount, a camera, filters... but you're worried about plugging everything in?
This course is designed to help you avoid the pitfalls of a beginner, the nights lost fighting with cables, and the hours spent trying to find where to click.

In one day-evening, we put it all together - your equipment, not a demo setup - we calibrate, adjust, and capture your first roughs.
No fancy theories or useless jargon: just do it, set it, shoot it.
