Astrophotography

Astrophotography is the specialized field of photography that involves capturing images of astronomical objects, celestial events, and the night sky. This practice encompasses a variety of techniques and equipment to document phenomena such as stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial bodies, as well as the Milky Way and various cosmic events like meteor showers and eclipses. Astrophotographers often use long exposure times, specialized cameras, and telescopes to collect light from distant objects, resulting in images that can reveal fine details and colors that are not visible to the naked eye. The goal of astrophotography is not only to create visually striking images but also to enhance our understanding of the universe by documenting and analyzing celestial phenomena.
