What is Astrophotography ?

         

Astrophotography is a specialized type of photography that can record the details of objects such as the Moon, Sun, and Planets. 

 

Astrophotography has the ability to image objects invisible to the human eye such as dim Stars, Nebulae and Galaxies.  By using Web cams, DSLR cameras and specialised CCD and CMOS cameras, we can accumulate collected light (photons) using long exposure imaging.

 

WYAS is fortunate to have a thriving Astrophotography section and membership who are always happy to help and provide information.
