Want to leave your stargazing program
with more than just extraordinary memories?
Add the Night Sky Photo Package as an incredible memento to your program and we’ll use one of our special DSLR cameras to take a series of photographs of your group with the night sky, our telescopes and the Milky Way (if the conditions allow) in the background. Below are some examples of pictures that we take and send to you via a Google Drive link.
What you get with the Night Sky Photo Package:
- A digital folder of high resolution “best of the best” night shots that we’ve taken over the last 10 years.
- At least 4 good shots of you and your group around the telescope with the Tetons, the Milky Way (if possible), and the starry night sky in the background in both landscape and portrait orientation. Yes, you get to hold the laser pointers for your photos too ?
Please note that the brightness of the Moon is the biggest factor that determines how dark the night sky is. If the Moon is more than half full it will not allow us to photograph most of the stars in the sky nor the Milky Way. The pictures on the top row are examples of what you get with a nearly Full Moon with a 5-10 second exposure, which makes the landscape look like its daytime! They are still cool shots, but nothing like the pictures in the third and fourth rows, which are examples of what we can do when there is no Moon in the sky at all with a 30 second exposure. The pictures in the second row are examples of our creative shots.
Please take a look using the following link to see what the phase of the Moon will be when you intend to stargaze with us so you know what to expect from the Night Sky Photo Package.
