Photographing the Night Sky

ian408

Greetings,

I ran across an article in Night & Sky (a beginning Astronomy magazine
published by Sky & Telescope) that talks about shooting the night sky.
The article is in the November/December issue.

It's a great article that covers the basics. From a tripod to cable release
to how to.

There's very little telescope work included. Making this a wonderful primer.

For those interested, there is also an article on buying your first telescope.

Enjoy,
Ian

When I was growing up, there was a certain advantage of having the name. I
would know when I heard "Ian" who ever was calling was calling me. Now, I'm
never sure

RM, the link is a good one too.
