Online astrophotography Course

The Ultimate Bundle grants access to ALL courses and processing guides, and comes with perks - an exclusive and uncommon feature in most astrophotography courses. The two other bundles offer access to just the course lessons or just the processing guides depending on your needs. This allows members to enjoy access to the materials they prefer to learn from. All bundles are updated when new learning materials are added. Members can enjoy the additions for the time they remain actively subscribed.

The Galactic Course is a growing library of astrophotography content. As such, it takes tremendous effort to curate lessons, as well as write, film, edit, and revise content to complete the end product. Yearly dues support the Galactic Course mentors' work in creating new lessons and guides. Yearly dues are only for members that are in the subscription model. Students who have lifetime access do not pay these dues.

[This does not apply to lifetime members who paid a one time fee] No matter the bundle, subscribed members are subject to yearly dues in order to retain access to the Galactic Course. Otherwise, they will not be able to access the content. A member is not obligated to pay their dues if they wish to stop learning with the Galactic Course. Non-active members can regain access by paying the yearly dues.

Yes, non-active members can regain access by paying the yearly dues.

You can purchase specific course lessons or processing guides separately. Only pay for the course materials you want to learn from. When you purchase individual course materials, you retain access and receive updates, however, buying several materials separately may be more costly than a bundle so be sure to weigh your options. Visit the Galactic Course website to search individual course lessons and processing guides. While there is no obligation to buy the Ultimate Bundle, the biggest benefit of investing is getting access to all course materials and processing guides, plus perks!

We receive a lot of emails and messages on social media each day from people seeking help with astrophotography. We do our best to reply to everyone, but it is not always possible. If help from mentors is desired, we prioritize these inquiries (along with contact from Patreon members) to provide the best support we can.

Not necessarily. Some seasons focus on astrophotography with a telescope, but you don't need a telescope or gear right out the gate. Rushing into making a purchase is not what we intend to teach. We encourage following along before making an expensive purchase that might later be regretted. For guidance on what gear you should get, check out our blog post or invest in a course lessons bundle option to get access to the Deep-Sky course - which outlines how to choose the best gear for you. A note from the Galactic Course mentors: Consider learning how to use the telescope, nurture these newfound skills, and learn the "why" behind astrophotography concepts before actually imaging. In this way, the course is still helpful even to those who do not own a telescope yet. Future content may not necessarily use telescopes, so getting the course before you own any gear pays off and saves you the headache of paying for things you might not ever use!
