Astrophotography
The Mackenzie Basin offers an extraordinary natural studio for night-sky photography.
Our private Astrophotography Masterclass is tailored entirely to you, whether you are picking up a camera beneath the stars for the first time or already experienced in astrophotography.
Overview
Before your session, your dedicated Astro Guide will talk with you about your equipment, experience and what you would most like to capture. Focus on landscape astrophotography beneath the Milky Way, experiment with deep-space tracking or use modern smart telescope technology to photograph objects far beyond what can be seen with the naked eye.
For landscape photography, your experience can begin during daylight with a private location-scouting session across the estate. Together with your guide, identify foregrounds, compositions and viewpoints before returning after dark to photograph them beneath the stars. Cameras, tripods and specialist equipment can also be made available.
