This is week three of Stan's Advanced Night Sky Photography class, and so he decided to have a field trip. All our class meetings, except this one are on Zoom. Having a field trip had a number of advantages - he would give an assignment, to photograph the moon and the landscape. And he would be there to assist students if they had any problems or questions. And, we would finally get to meet each other in person, now that the Covid risks are reduced. Here Stan demonstrates a camera tracker to the group.
Here Stan talks with Tony and offers a few suggestions about his camera and lens settings.
This is Grace, one of the students in the class, using a telephoto lens on her tripod
Stan watches as Gabriella sets up her camera and answers a question.
And this is a group portrait of the class which I did, as a record of our trip to Central Park. What is particularly nice are the number of women in the class. Since I was taking the photograph, I added a picture of myself to the group after I got home. Where's Waldo? :-)

Looks like a wonderful opportunity for a large variety of photographers. Did Grace set up her telescope and then just hold her camera up to the scope? I found Waldo!

I thought it was "odd" that you were wearing a bike shirt in the group photo. NOW I know why after reading your blog. Hahaha! It's great that there is such a large group interested in Stan's class. betsey
Grace is using a large telephoto lens, connected to her camera. Her hand is touching the camera to trip the shutter.
