Description

Ever wondered how to capture the galaxy in a single frame? The Astrophotography Techniques Course takes you beyond the basics of pointing a camera at the sky. Instead, you’ll explore how to work with light years, not just light settings. Whether you're aiming to photograph the moon’s craters or the Milky Way’s swirl, this course gives you the knowledge needed to get it just right – all without stepping foot in an observatory.

Learn how to use your camera and equipment to shoot stars that don’t blur and planets that don’t look like fuzzy dots. From camera settings and exposure tips to tracking movement and post-editing, each section is crafted for learners with a spark of curiosity and a lens ready to explore the skies. The universe won’t wait – but your shutter speed will know when to. This course is built for stargazers who want more than just a telescope—they want a story in every shot.
