Join us for our 2nd Comet Workshop, building on the incredible success of last year’s event with Comet Tsuchinshan (C/2023 A3), where participants walked away with epic images which included unforgettable shots over the Space Needle and Mount Adams. For Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6), we’re raising the bar even higher. As expert weather forecasters, we know how to chase down the clearest skies and pair them with the most striking compositions possible. Since the release of this workshop we have a new Comet just discovered - Comet Swan (C/2025 R2 SWAN) that will be in the sky as the same time as Lemmon. This gives us 2 targets in the sky to work in with landscapes and potentially capture the 2 comets and the Milky Way all in one frame!

Over the course of 4 nights, you’ll not only photograph this once-in-a-lifetime comet in breathtaking locations with access to star trackers, but also learn how to plan, edit, and forecast future night-sky events with confidence. Together with my good friend and space weather aficionado Mark Stewart, we’ll guide you every step of the way, from field shooting to understanding aurora science. You'll leave with unique images and the skills to become a true comet chaser and better overall night time shooter.

We have a long list of epic lineups and shot ideas we plan to implement with the class. You will fly into Salt Lake City, UT and we will guide you on the multi list of locations once you sign up.

BEGINNER - ADVANCED

*Preferably the ability to use manual mode on your camera but 1st timers to well advanced night time shooters are all welcome!

Kenneth LeRose (KRL Photo) is a dedicated night-sky and landscape photographer who has spent the last 7+ years traveling the U.S. in a tiny Airstream, chasing dark skies and celestial events from deserts to seascapes to random strolls in the woods.

Specializing in astrophotography, he leads workshops that teach students how to capture the Milky Way, comets, auroras, and other incredible night-sky phenomena. With a keen eye for composition and a deep understanding of light and how to capture it at night, Kenneth helps photographers of all levels create breathtaking images of the night sky while building the skills and confidence to chase future celestial events on their own.

Mark Stewart is a passionate night-sky photographer and dedicated space weather enthusiast. With years of experience chasing auroras, comets, and rare celestial events across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, he brings both technical expertise and contagious excitement to every outing.

Mark is also trained in weather forecasting, which gives him a unique edge in finding the clearest skies and the most dramatic conditions for astrophotography. Whether teaching complex topics like aurora science in an easy-to-digest way or guiding students under the stars, Mark’s mission is to help others experience and capture the magic of our night sky for themselves making him the perfect addition to this Comet Workshop
