Photograph the starry night sky with your DSLR camera & lenses you currently own. Curt Weinhold, a PA Wilds Juried Artisan, teaches you to photograph constellations & the Milky Way.


Foreground material, such as trees or buildings may also add to the composition. Samples of Curt's work online: http://pbase.com/cwphoto
