Program: Photographing The Night Sky - Astrophotography was once the domain of serious researchers and committed hobbyists. Today, modern DSLR cameras and new camera tracker mounts have opened night sky photography, even for deep space objects, to everyone. We will discuss how to use your existing cameras and lenses to image the night sky, from star trail photos to milky way and deep sky imaging. We will also cover some unique considerations with night sky photography and image processing.
