Ratings and Reviews
Mark Niles
I have been interested in astrophotography for a few years and found it to be a highly technical field. The courses Dan put together have been an immense help in making sense of the why behind the techniques. One technique that was mentioned can't be over emphasized: practice!! There is no facet of this photography genre that is simple and intuitive. Practice, practice, practice!!!

I've taken 5 or so courses from various instructors and Dan's was excellent. Quick with a response to questions, Dan knows his craft backwards and forwards. He cut my polar alignment time from 8-9 min to 1-2 min and now I can do 5 min subs! Would highly recommend.
Herbert Naass
Absolutely! The modules and items are structured and Dan’s explanations are clear and very easy to understand. The type of presentation has a high optical quality and this is helpful to follow his line of thought. You can always feel his enthusiasm and his treasure trove of experience. He knows what he is speaking of. I savored each minute following his explanations.
Karen Hart
What I liked most about this course is the way Dan shares step-by-step his process. As a photographer with basic editing knowledge, this course really takes your learning to a new level. I know I will use the steps in whatever software I choose to use.

This was my second astro course in general so I came in with a healthy amount of skepticism knowing that there are many decent options out there. Dan's patient detailed explanations of his step by step technique is easy to understand and significantly improved my night time photography. It immediately became apparent to me that Dan understands the ins and outs of editing night time images.
I'm amazed how much I've learned with this course! It's very different from trying to learn with youtube videos. The course follow a very logical sequence, and really covers everything you need to master Milk Way photography. And it's a pleasure to watch by the way. Do yourself a favor, and buy this course. It's a masterpiece.
