Everything you need to know to photograph and postprocess images of the night sky with standard DSLR and mirrorless camera equipment

Ever look up at the sky and say, “Wow!”? This is the best way to capture the universe in photographs.

Everything you need to know about photographing:

• the moon
• eclipses
• the Milky Way
• star fields
• star trails
• comets
• meteor showers

A complete list of the equipment you will need shows that you probably already have all or most of what is recommended, as this book is for photography with your standard camera, lenses, and tripod, not telescopes and tracking tripods.

Lots of illustrations with complete technical information will help you plan your exact strategy.
