This is a hands workshop on using a stock lens and digital single-lens reflex or mirrorless cameras to take great night sky images. Astro-photographers, Rod Cortright and Mick Grozko, will discuss essential equipment and camera setting for taking night-sky photos.

Since this is a hands-on workshop, it will require suitable photographing conditions. Therefore, participants will need to have flexible schedules. If conditions are unfavorable on Wednesday evening, the workshop will be rescheduled for Thursday or Friday evening of that week. Watch the Headlands Facebook page for rescheduling information.

At minimum, participants must bring a DSLR or Mirrorless camera and a tripod to this workshop.

In this presentation, we will discuss how stars form and what changes occur as they grow and mature through their life. As the star’s fuel runs low, what changes take place as they die? We will show examples of stars in these many phases. We will talk about our Sun, where it is now, and what we should look forward to. (This event is hosted by Northern Michigan Astronomy Club and presented by Mick Groszko, who is a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassadors. In that capacity, they both do outreach activities for NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.)
