An introduction to astrophotography. Have you ever wanted to reproduce your own amazing shots of the night sky? You can!
Includes a Star Safari.
Absolute beginner for astrophotography. Start here.
Did you know that astrophotography is more than just pretty landscapes at night? Take a look at this photo of the galaxy IC 342, taken by Sam. This is a beautiful spiral galaxy that is really hard to photograph because it it sits along the plane of the Milky Way so is difficult to see. IC342 was instrumental in the work for understanding dark matter (see this article from Caltech).
