Astrophotography at High Force Waterfall
Saturday 10th August 2024 from 19:00pm to Sunday 11th August 2024 01:30am
The High Force Hotel
Alston Road, Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, DL12 0XH
This workshop is timed to include golden hour, sunset, blue hour, full astronomical darkness, and maximum visibility of the late summer Milky Way.
We’ll start in the Low Force area, before heading along the Pennine Way to Bleabeck Force and High Force waterfalls for golden hour and sunset, returning to Low Force waterfall for blue hour.
We’ll then take a well-earned break, before regrouping at the High Force Hotel, for exclusive access to the waterfall area during astronomical darkness, perfectly timed for the return of the Milky Way after the summer months.
The workshop is also timed for the last weekend night/morning before the peak of the Perseid meteor shower (peaks August 12th-13th). If solar conditions are favourable, Low Force is well-positioned for the Northern Lights.
Please note that this has already taken place on 10/08/2024
