Despite the cold weather, there are still plenty of opportunities for night sky photography in winter. Planning and researching based on your location is important, and software like Stellarium can help you figure out where and when to see different celestial objects. 

We talk about opportunities for tracked and untracked photography, planning your shots, execution, and things to keep in mind when the weather can be extreme.

Episode highlights:

  1. Moon photography opportunities
  2. Orion and winter Milky Way compositions
  3. Deep-sky targets
  4. Cold weather considerations


If you need a dose of inspiration to get you out and shooting during the cold winter months this is it! Happy shooting.
