2024 Isle Royale National Park IRKPA Night Sky Photography Workshops

August 6-10, 2024 full (sign up for wait list in case of cancellations)
 
September 6-11, 2024  full  (sign up for wait list in case of cancellations)

Isle Royale National Park—a 45-mile-long island in Lake Superior— is an ideal location for viewing the dark night skies of Upper Michigan. These exciting night sky photography workshops are geared towards those who would like to learn about night sky photography techniques and are open to all skill levels. The workshop itineraries will be fluid, with priority given to maximizing our night sky field photo shoot time. It is timed to occur near the autumn equinox, which improves the odds of possibly seeing the elusive Aurora Borealis.  These workshops fill quickly and have filled within a week of registration opening in previous years. 

Registration is now live. To register, visit: Isle Royale workshop registration  

If you prefer to stay in the lodge, please doublecheck the dates of the workshop you are participating in and DO NOT DELAY in booking your lodge room, as the lodge fills quickly. Lodge reservations are here - choose Rock Harbor Lodge in the drop down menu: Rock Harbor Lodge registration
