About this event
What to expect
It comes as a surprise to many that there can be opportunities to photograph the Aurora Australis in the dark skies of Canberra. Whilst solar activity peaked around 2025 it is expected that there will continue to be opportunities through 2027.
The same techniques for photographing the aurora can be applied to general landscape astrophotography.
This course which combines a theory component and a practical (field) component shooting the stars in interesting landscape formats over a single evening provides expert tuition on how to monitor solar activity for auroral activity as well as on camera settings or smart phone settings for night sky photography. Detailed notes are provided to each participant.
Ian has been running this course for 10 years and have received excellent feedback from people who have done it, many who now hav captured their own photos of the aurora.
