Astrophotography Port Willunga

Come and join the friendly, welcoming people in the Sony Alpha Adelaide group to learn the basics about Astrophotography. Even if you're experienced, join fellow Sony camera users at a great location for Astro.

Come early (by 6pm, please allow for traffic) to the Bistro at Aldinga Hotel, Corner Old Coach Road & Port Road, Aldinga, where we have a couple of tables booked.

Then after a brief 5 minute drive, we'll arrive at about 8pm at the Port Willunga Jetty Pylons, Esplanade, Port Willunga.

If you're coming to the 6pm dinner, please email Colin on sonyadvocate@artphotos.com.au so he can book you at the Aldinga Hotel, which is located on the corner of Old Coach & Port Roads, Aldinga. Otherwise please meet us at the Port Willunga Sticks at 8pm.

Due to relying on clouds (or lack thereof), please keep a watch on your emails in case it's necessary to change the date due to weather forecasts.
