FAQ 04
FAQ 04.DO I NEED A PRIVATE MILKY WAY LESSON INSTEAD?
Private Milky Way Workshops are ideal for those who don’t have the time to attend a group class or need immediate assistance in learning how to use a DSLR or Star Tracker—especially if you’re planning a trip and want to be ready to use your Star tracker set up while on holiday.
A private lesson is also a great option for those with more complex astrophotography, such as star tracker. These types of star tracking often require more in-depth guidance, and one class may not be enough to get you fully comfortable with them. Our Milky Way Workshops will cover Equator Polar Alignment which is an important step in using equatorial mounts. You might prefer to have a private lesson instead where you can receive small group(1-5) learning lesson.
