When Science Meets the StarsAre you an astrometer, scientist, or photographer fascinated by the deep mysteries of the night sky? Then the Oklahoma Orion & Geminid Meteor Shower Adventure is calling your name.
December 13–15, 2025 | Enid, Oklahoma
This 3-day astro-photography workshop blends research-minded observation with hands-on imaging during one of the brightest meteor showers of the year. Led by the incredible Paul M. Smith, whose collaborations range from NASA to atmospheric research, this event isn’t just about taking pretty pictures — it’s about capturing data, phenomena, and beauty in one frame.
Under dark, pristine skies, you’ll learn how to:
- Photograph nightscapes, Orion, and meteors using precise tracking and exposure methods.
- Forecast and plan for meteor activity using radiant maps and trajectory predictions.
- Stack and process your images scientifically to isolate meteor trails and reduce noise.
- Explore post-processing workflows in Lightroom and Photoshop optimized for meteors.
This isn’t your average photo trip — it’s a field lab for minds that see data in light and art in science. Whether you’re a researcher studying atmospheric phenomena, a field scientist, or a photographer chasing cosmic events, you’ll walk away with breathtaking results and real insight into how to analyze them.
Bring your best gear: a camera capable of long exposures, an intervalometer, a fast lens (f/2.8 or better), and a tripod sturdy enough for the night winds. Prepare for cold nights, warm coffee, and the magic that happens when passion meets precision.
3 Days. 2 Nights. Countless Meteors. Infinite Wonder.Join Paul M. Smith Photography this December and let your camera become both your telescope and your notebook of the universe.
