I have a 5/3 sensor camera. Can I attend?
You are welcome to attend.
Will this class go over how to take pictures on your phone for those who don’t have an actual camera?
The class is specific for full frame cameras, however, you will also learn about when and where to chase the aurora.
I would love to attend but only have a phone camera. Is that allowed?
