Trip description:

We will be on the hunt for the Aurora! Campus photographers will be along to provide instruction  on how to photograph the aurora. We will drive to one of the domes (Murphy Dome, Pedro Dome, Ester Dome…) Location will depend on our best bet to see the Aurora. Make sure to bring your camera and tripod, if you need a camera you can rent one from the library. There will be a short bit of hiking, but we will mostly be hanging out taking pictures and enjoying the show in the sky so be prepared with warm clothing.  In the event there’s no Aurora, we will be light painting instead.

• Sturdy warm boots (OA has Mountaineering Boots)
• Daypack
• Synthetic or wool long underwear tops and bottoms
• Fleece jacket or wool sweater and/or vest
