Stargazing & Astrophotography

A night to see familiar places from a different perspective under the stars.

If you’re curious about astrophotography, I’ll be showing people a few tips and basics throughout the night too.

Heavily dependent on clear weather and moon phase.

Anyone is welcome even if you're not a photographer.
