Lenses: The wider the better, anything from 10mm to 28mm is more than enough. A lens with aperture f2.8 takes clearer picture than a lens with aperture f3.5 as it allows almost twice the amount of light to the sensor.
​
Smart phones: Even some of the latest smart phones are capable of capturing the Milky Way and you are more than welcome to bring them to the workshop but you'll still need a tripod as the principles are the same, although on this workshop we encourage more the use of a camera that performs manual settings.
