Advanced Astrophotography Techniques
Stacking · Tracking · Panoramas


Master Astro Photography on Whatipu Beach, our favorite location in Auckland. This breathtaking beach has almost 360 degree views, allowing you to capture the Milky Way the whole night through. Snap the stars over Nine Pin Lighthouse, catch the arch over Paratutae Island, photograph the reflections in the tidal rivers. This location has it all.

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.

We’ll teach you stitching, panoramic grids, and advanced students can learn to shoot with Star Trackers for the ultimate astro photography experience.

Suitable for both beginner and advanced photographers.
