UNDER THE DEEP SKY OF ALENTEJO, WHERE THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT MINGLES WITH THE DANCE OF THE STARS, WE SEEK TO RECORD THE BEAUTY OF THE UNIVERSE. THE PURE DARKNESS AND THE RANGE OF THE LANDSCAPES MAKE THIS A UNIQUE DESTINATION FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY.
The Alentejo, with its vast horizons and minimal light pollution, offers some of the best conditions in Europe for night sky photography. Between rolling plains and ancient villages, we capture the Milky Way, constellations, meteor showers and other celestial phenomena in detail and poetry. The tours are carefully planned to take advantage of the best moon phases, times of greatest astronomical activity and strategic locations that guarantee open skies and unobstructed horizons. During the sessions, participants learn essential techniques for astrophotography, including long exposure settings, precise focusing in the dark, composition with terrestrial landscapes, and tricks to maximize the sharpness and color of stars. This experience is designed for those who want to explore the night in an artistic and technical way, in one of the clearest and most magical skies in Portugal.
