DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to try astrophotography\, but were disco
 uraged by the light pollution on campus? Or have you always wanted to try 
 connecting your DSLR to a 24-inch telescope with a 9300mm focal length?  W
 ell\, this is your opportunity!  Wallace Observatory will be hosting our v
 ery first dedicated astrophotography session for our MIT community.  After
  the event\, we hope that all participants will edit their photos and shar
 e them with the group so that we can learn from each other.  The final pro
 duct will be a gallery featuring our best astrophotos\, hosted on the Wall
 ace website.\n\nWho can attend?  Anyone from our MIT community\, with a pr
 eference for undergrads and grad students.  We recommend you have at least
  a basic amount of experience with using a DSLR in the field.  If you're n
 ot sure\, please contact us!\n\nTo attend\, you will bring your own camera
  or use one of our Canon DSLR's.  You will have the option to simply use a
  tripod and lens or connect your camera to a telescope that tracks the sky
 .  To attach to the telescopes\, you will need a special adapter to connec
 t to a T-mount.  We have several of these for Canon EOS EF mountings and a
  few for other camera brands (Sony\, Nikon etc.).  If you sign up\, please
  email us ahead of time to state which type you will need so that we can c
 oordinate in time.\n\nIt will be COLD\, so please dress accordingly.  We w
 ill have hot refreshments inside (tea and hot cocoa etc.).  \n\nRain date 
 and Weather: Staff will be monitoring weather as event approaches.  This e
 vent will be one (1) night\, but we will schedule the event on the best we
 ather of the three listed.  You will need to keep an eye on your email for
  last minute communication. If the entire week is bad\, we will find anoth
 er night in the following weeks before the end of IAP2023.\n\nDriving: You
  will need to have a ride to get here since this is off-campus.  We hope t
 hat the group can rideshare and will do our best to help you organize the 
 trip.  More details once you sign up!\n\nAdditional Info: Please note\, th
