About starlight photography
Night photography opens up fascinating possibilities for creating images with a mysterious and mystical atmosphere. Combining the sparkling starry sky with objects in the foreground creates unique compositions that capture the beauty of the night.

We will also delve into the world of astrophotography together: we will show you how to take photos with a telescope and capture the wonders of the universe.

At the event, you will also have the opportunity to take an unforgettable look through the Gurtentelescope and other mobile telescopes.
