    It was a great evening to be out shooting the stars. Our instructor, Emma, had scouted for a good place to meet and succeeded in finding the right spot. Her instructions for successfully shooting the Milky Way were simple yet very effective.

    This class was great. Emma was such a helpful teacher. I took another class with a different teacher and did not get as much out of the the other class. Emma had a specific agenda she wanted to cover and ensured we covered those items, as well as anything else the class wanted. That made the class feel focused and helped me get the most out of it. I highly recommend
