Deep-Sky Photography

StarStarStarStar

Imaging distant celestial objects such as nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters, typically requiring long exposure times and careful post-processing.

StarStarStarStar

Solar Photography

StarStarStarStar

Photographing the Sun using special filters to reduce the light intensity and avoid damage to equipment and eyes.

StarStarStarStar

Wide-Field Astrophotography

StarStarStarStar

Using a camera with a wide-angle lens to capture large areas of the night sky, often including multiple constellations or Milky Way landscapes.

StarStarStarStar

Piggyback Photography

StarStarStarStar

A camera is mounted on top of the telescope and uses its own lens to capture wide-field images while the telescope tracks the stars.

StarStarStarStar

Star Trail Photography

StarStarStarStar

Using long exposure photography to capture the apparent motion of stars in the sky, resulting in arcs of light that reflect Earth's rotation.

StarStarStarStar

Planetary Photography

StarStarStarStar

Capturing detailed images of planets in the Solar System, frequently requiring specialized equipment and techniques to deal with the small apparent size and brightness of planets.

StarStarStarStar

HDR Astrophotography

StarStarStarStar

Combining multiple exposures of varying lengths to capture a high dynamic range of brightness, from the brightest stars to the faintest nebulae.

StarStarStarStar

Prime Focus Photography

StarStarStarStar

This technique involves connecting a camera directly to a telescope, using the telescope as a camera lens.

StarStarStarStar

Eyepiece Projection Photography

StarStarStarStar

A camera without a lens is aimed into the eyepiece of a telescope to capture an enlarged image of the object being observed.

StarStarStarStar

Lunar Photography

StarStarStarStar

Capturing images of the Moon's surface with a variety of techniques, often with high detail due to the Moon's brightness and relative closeness.

StarStarStarStar

Afocal Photography

StarStarStarStar

A camera with its own lens is held up to the eyepiece of the telescope, allowing you to capture an image as you would see through the eyepiece.

StarStarStarStar

Time-Lapse Astrophotography

StarStarStarStar

Creating a video that shows the motion of celestial objects across the sky by taking a sequence of images over a period of time.
