FAQ: Astrophotography Workshop

  • When will I receive the itinerary?

    You will receive an in-depth itinerary, via the e-mail you provide when registering, one month prior to the workshop and once the final payment has been received.

  • Is the deposit refundable?

    Yes, the $250 is fully refundable up until May 5, 2026. Refunds will NOT be issued after May 5, 2026.

  • Can I bring a guest/friend/spouse?

    Absolutely! We understand that traveling all the way to remote West Texas alone might not be ideal. Feel free to bring a non-photographer plus one with you.

  • What if there are poor weather conditions?

    The Big Bend region often has fluctuating weather patterns, so the weather can go from cloudy to clear fairly quickly and vice versa. We'll keep a close eye on the forecast leading up to the workshop. Regardless of conditions, we will still cover astrophotography in the classroom. If the skies don’t cooperate for hands-on night photography, we’ll focus on capturing storms, sunsets, and sunrises instead.

  • Where do you recommend for lodging?

    We are partnering with Far Flung Outdoor Center to offer our attendees discounted rates at their charming and comfortable casitas for $169 per night.

    Once you book the workshop, you will receive further instruction on how to obtain the rate of $169/night.
