Testimonials
“Coni’s astrophotography workshop was a life-changing experience. The succinct theory section teaches you everything you need to know about camera settings and environmental conditions. Afterward the practical session of the course is incredible! I thought it’d take months or years to take great photos of the night sky but Coni’s amazing teaching and choice of nearby dark sky location enabled me to take memorable photos on the first night! I took a fantastic photo of part of the Milky Way galaxy, and the red giant Antares in the Constellation Scorpius; and we ended the night with a moonrise over the ocean. Coni also provides amazing advice on what equipment to purchase. I’m definitely signing on for more of her courses. I’ll always remember this astrophotography course and I have incredible photos to look back on. Thanks Coni.”
