There is no better place close to Sydney to capture the Milky Way than the Blue Mountains with its many lookouts overlooking the mind blowing vistas of the Kedumba, Jamison or Grose valleys. Besides these, there are plenty of lesser known hidden compositions aligning perfectly with a rising or falling Milky Way, and far enough out of the light pollution to allow for some crisp clear skies.
As the Milky Way season heads West at the end of 2021, we will meet and capture the stars at the incredible clear sky locations through the Blue Mountains. Kicking off with some quick coaching on locating and capturing the stars, we will then settle into our location and begin to capture the night sky as the Milky Way passes overhead and sets towards the west.
Dress for the conditions Temperatures will drop significantly overnight and you must be prepared to stand in the cold by wearing winter clothing, warm layers, a winter jacket, gloves, beanie and thermals if you require them.
Own Transport Essential These locations are not close to any public transport, so please ensure you have your own transport to get to the location.
Weather Dependent This is a Weather Dependent event. If heavy rain or storms are forecast we will cancel or postpone the event to a later date. We will still run the event if it is cloudy, as we can have some light painting fun around the Blue Mountains if the skies fail to clear for us.
