Have you ever looked a beautiful astronomy image and wondered whether you could come close to taking something as breathtaking as that? Although none of us can compete with those from the Hubble Space Telescope, you can, with very little help, soon be taking astroimages you can be proud of.

Bob Horton, the President of Skyscrapers, Inc., has been taking incredible images of celestial objects. He will tell you exactly what you need to start, and give you pointers to begin to create your own astrophotos. Come and learn a new and beautiful hobby!

Also, weather permitting, Seagrave observatory will be open to the public after the workshop is over. You might want to stay and enjoy the sky with others who love looking up.

This program is just $5.00 per person, free to Skyscrapers, Inc., members. For more information, please contact President Bob Horton, at ShootingSta98@gmail.com
