When
March 1, 2025. 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Astrophotography is a type of photography that focuses on the night sky, photographing anything from other galaxies to beautiful nebulae. If you already do astrophotography, or you have the gear and don't know where to start or maybe you are just curious, now is your chance to bring your camera, tripod and star tracker (or even just your phone and a tripod) to the park to get great pictures. A ranger will have their own gear set up and will have some tips and tricks on how to get better pictures of the night sky. This will be held outside, in front of the Clover Visitor Center.
