Ratings and Reviews
Jonathan McGrail
Found the Capture the Atlas website a couple of years ago and it has invaluable information. Earlier this year I decided to spend the money on the Milky Way courses. The course overall has been outstanding and post processing modules are amazingly helpful. Thanks to course I successfully, not perfectly, captured the Milky Way last month in New Hampshire.
Andrew Notaristefano
This course really helped take my astrophotography to the next level. The step by step workflow and the videos where Dan does start to finish edits are tremendously helpful. I felt stuck in my learning curve and some of the steps in Dan's course were eyeopening. I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.
Bikram Ghosh
The whole course is a fantastic hub of knowledge for advanced MW shooting and post-processing. The flow of the course is great. I recommend it for any and everyone wanting to advance their skills in the world of widefield astro photography. I was very skeptical at first , which discussed with Dan too but honestly I feel this was one of the best things I did.
A few of the LR/PS tools discussed in the class are getting to be a bit out-of-date, but the overall content is excellent! From the basics to the Advanced module, the course has been great preparation for what will be my 1st ever Astrophotography Workshop in Moab (Apri 2026). I've scheduled a couple of local "practice" sessions on my own and am super excited to get hands-on help in the field.
