New to Astrophotography? Start Here!
Hi there!
If you are new to astrophotography or have ever wondered how people get to practise this magnificent hobby, then this page will eliminate all your doubts and answer all your questions.
We have prepared three quick videos (each one lasting less than 5 minutes) that will guide you through the astrophotography universe.
What is astrophotography?
In the first video, we’ll tell you about the different types of astrophotography, ranging from imaging the Milky Way to capturing deep-sky objects through astronomical telescopes.
Moreover, we will tell you what you need to practise deep-sky astrophotography and how we can help you without spending a fortune on a telescope, camera and all the necessary gear.
The art of post-processing
In the second video, we will disclose the secrets to the art of post-processing.
Here is where your skills and creativity come into play!
No stone will be left unturned, as you discover how to turn the raw data captured with a telescope (such as those you can access thanks to our platform) into jaw-dropping colour images.
Picking the right software tool
Finally, in the third video, we will compare four software tools used to transform your raw data into a colour image.
If you have never practised astrophotography before, this is probably the most crucial video since we will guide you in picking the best software for your specific needs based on your capabilities (in terms of both money and skills).
We hope you enjoy this series and it helps you better understand the vast universe behind the art of astrophotography.
