Master Astro Photography near the Warkworth Satellite Station. This spot has unique views of two radio satellite dishes run by AUT. We’ll capture the milky way rising over each as the night progresses.

We have a range of equipment for all cameras to ensure you get the most out of the evening thanks to Lumix, Astronz and Samyang.

Advanced students will learn to shoot with Star Trackers for the ultimate astro photography experience.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced photographers (you should be comfortable shooting standard astrophotography on a tripod and should know your camera settings well).
