Looking to capture stunning images of the Milky Way? Look no further than the Perth Observatory’s upcoming Milky Way photography workshop! With the Milky Way season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to learn how to take breathtaking photos of our galaxy.

Over two nights, you’ll learn all the basics of Milky Way photography, including what equipment to use and how to use it. On the first night, you’ll get a comprehensive “how-to” guide to Milky Way photography, covering everything from camera settings to hardware options.
