Any amateur astronomer who is interested in astrophotography particularly if just getting started needs to know what objects are best for imaging in each month of the year These are not necessarily the same objects that are the most spectacular or intriguing visually The camera reveals different things and has different requirements What objects in the sky tonight are large enough bright enough and high enough to be photographed This book reveals for each month of the year the choicest celestial treasures within the reach of a commercial CCD camera Helpful hints and advice on framing exposures and filters are included Each deep sky object is explained in beautiful detail so that observers will gain a richer understanding of these astronomical objectsThis is not a book that dwells on the technology of CCD Webcam wet or other types of astrophotography Neither is it a book about indepth computer processing of the images although this topic is included Detailed discussions of these topics can be found in other publications This book focuses on what northern latitude objects to image at any given time of the year to get the most spectacular results.

Telescopes were first invented around the year 1600. . Galileo . Galilei was an early astronomer who first used telescopes to view objects in our solar system. . He . made many important discoveries including: the moon was covered in mountains and Jupiter had 4 large moons.. Optical Telescopes. Ground based and on satellites. Observations are recorded using a camera instead of the human eye most times. . This is so we can separate colors into light and using times to study changes over time.. The most important property of a telescope? . No, it’s not it’s “power” or magnifying ability, it is……. Its . Light Gathering . power! So, . t. he diameter of the mirror or lens is THE most important property. Types of Telescopes. A telescope collects light over a large area and focuses it in a . small area where it can be viewed with an eye or a camera. This can be done in 2 ways:. Refracting Telescopes. 1.

Astrophotography is Easy! fills that void, serving as a guide to anybody interested in the subject but starting totally from scratch. Assuming no prior experience, the author runs through the basics for how to take astrophotos using just a camera?including cell phones and tablets?as well as a telescope and more sophisticated equipment.The book includes proven techniques, checklists, safety guidelines, troubleshooting tips, and more. Each chapter builds upon the last, allowing readers to master basic techniques before moving on to more challenging material. Also included is a comprehensive list of additional books and resources on a variety of topics so readers can continue expanding their skills.Astrophotography Is Easy! doesn’t simply teach you the basic skills for becoming an astrophotographer: it provides you with the foundations you will need for a lifelong pursuit.
