About the Presentation:
Intro To Astro & The Effects of Light Pollution: This beginner-friendly presentation is designed to remove the intimidation from astrophotography and make the night sky feel accessible to everyone. We’ll break down the fundamentals of capturing the Milky Way, the moon, meteor showers, star trails, and night landscapes, focusing on simple camera settings, lens choices, and planning techniques that actually work in the field.
We’ll also take a deeper look at light pollution, what it is, how it affects your images, and what you can do to help the issue. You’ll learn how to read light pollution maps and how to combat it.
