Nantucket boasts some of the darkest night skies in the northeast, and the cosmos certainly put on the best shows! Have you always wanted to learn how to capture the breathtaking, vivid milky way skyscapes? If so, join MMA’s Artist-in-Residence Charity Grace Mofsen for an exciting Astrophotography course geared toward amateur photographers. This astrophotography workshop intends to give participants the foundations needed to take dramatic pictures of the dark skies above. This workshop is NOT a beginner photography course. Participants must already know how to operate their DSLR or mirrorless camera and have access to a tripod. The purpose of this workshop is to explore long exposure settings and post process editing.
Night 1: Introduction: Settings and Controls
Night 2: Shooting in the field
Night 3: Post processing and editing
Pre-registration is required as space is limited. This course meets on the following dates: July 26, 27, and 28. The location for shooting will be determined closer to the dates of the course.
Cost per participant: $700
Members receive a 20% discount

If you wish to reschedule, please contact us at info@mariamitchell.org.
In the event of a complete event or program cancellation by us ticket-holders will receive a ticket exchange or refund. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made in writing, and received, no more than seven days from the date printed on the ticket. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is based on current availability. No refund or credit will be given if the ticket holder requests a time that is unavailable for any reason.
