SKYGLOW Project

Internationally renowned timelapse filmmakers Harun Mehmedinovic and Gavin Heffernan of the SKYGLOW Project will be presenting their work. Come be amazed by incredible time-lapse movies of the clearest, darkest skies in the North America.

The result of athree-year journey of over 150,000 miles traveled and 3,000,000 pictures taken, Harun and Gavin will present their video series and tell stories of exploring North America’s remaining magnificent night skies and the grave threat of light pollution to our fragile environment. SKYGLOW explores the history and mythology of celestial observation, the proliferation of electrical outdoor lighting that spurred the rise of the phenomena known as "skyglow," and discusses the Dark Sky Movement that's reclaiming our visual access to the night skies

After the presentation the filmmakers will be on hand to autograph their new hardcover photo book and DVD. All proceeds go back into the Skyglow Project fund, to further document our beautiful night skies.
