The guide from your first Milky Way images to deep sky photography
This book is a compact yet extremely detailed introduction to astrophotography. After taking your first streak shots with a wide-angle lens, you will connect your camera to your telescope to photograph the moon, sun, planets and deep sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies with tracking. You will learn the necessary shooting and processing techniques step by step.
Thanks to a detailed overview of hardware (telescope types, mounts, accessories such as special cameras, filters and much more), you can tailor your equipment to your requirements.
Instructions for image post-processing (with Photoshop and Siril) and the use of live stacking, as well as a guide to buying a telescope, round off the book.
The author Alexander Kerste is a trained biologist who has turned his hobby into his profession. He has been volunteering at the Heilbronn Observatory since 1993, introducing interested laypeople to astronomy.
