Can I reschedule if weather is unfavorable?
Our workshops are based and scheduled around the new moon cycle to optimize our chances to capture the Milky Way. Unfortunately, we are unable to reschedule do to inclement weather and other logistical reasons. If weather is unfavorable for night sky photography, we will do our best to experiment with other photography and time lapse in and around the park. Our post processing sessions will be held as usual and instructors will provide files to work with if we are unable to capture the night sky. If weather is unfavorable and you would like to reschedule, we can offer a credit or more your spot to a different workshop.
