Astrophotography Workshop

Join us for an unforgettable day of astrophotography at the Perth Observatory, and learn all the basics of astrophotography, from wide-field to telescope photography.

Starting in the afternoon, our expert presenters will cover essential topics, including polar alignment, image calibration, and an introduction to astronomy and the night sky. You’ll learn how to photograph different celestial objects such as wide-field nightscapes, star trails, meteor showers, and aurora.

You’ll also get an introduction to telescope photography, where you’ll see different types of telescopes, mounts, and other essential equipment, such as electronic focusers, guide cameras, filters, and astronomy cameras.

After dinner, we’ll move to the hilltop for a night of astrophotography under the stars. You’ll use your camera on a tripod to capture breathtaking wide-field nightscapes around the picturesque Perth Observatory grounds.
