The dates on the calendar below are best suited to photograph the Milky Way based on the phase of the Moon and the relative reasonable hour at which the galactic core is visible above the horizon. The amount of cloud cover is critical for a successful shoot. Clouds can add interest to an image. Up to 30% to 40% total cloud cover is acceptable for a shoot. However, a higher ratio requires a reschedule.
When registering for a group workshop or private session, keep in mind the dates may change due to clarity of the forecasted skies. Please plan accordingly.
Flexibility is key for Milky Way photography.
