The night sky is filled with immense beauty and mystery, and it s
no wonder so many photographers want to learn how to take great
photographs of all it contains: the moon, stars, planets, galaxies,
and beyond. But for photographers just getting started
photographing the cosmos, some books veer into advanced territory
way too quickly, filled with difficult theory and long, expensive
lists of must-have gear. If you re just starting your adventure in
astrophotography, The Beginner s Guide to Astrophotography is the
book for you! Photographer Mike Shaw teaches you everything you
need to know to capture great images of the night sky without
breaking the bank or needing an advanced physics degree. In this
book, you ll quickly gain an understanding of the night sky, then
dive into gear and settings. Regardless of the camera you own
(smartphone, DSLR, or mirrorless), you ll be able to capture shots
you love. You ll learn all about the gear you absolutely need (and
what you don t) as well as the accessories that will make your
astrophotography life easier. Then you ll dive into camera
technique: exposure settings, focusing tricks, and composition
techniques to get the shot. You ll also learn about the best apps
for astronomy, weather, planning, and navigation. Mike walks you
through how to plan a shoot, set up for it, and capture your
images. Finally, you ll learn the post-processing techniques that
will have your images looking their best. You ll learn how to
photograph: The moon (full, crescent, lunar eclipse, solar eclipse)
