Suitable for beginners rather than experienced astrophotographers this is a basic guide for anyone getting started on imaging the wide field night sky.Most astrophotography books spend just a chapter dealing with what can be photographed with just a camera on a tripod, AKA simple astrophotography, but this is not enough to do justice to what can really be achieved with just a camera on a tripod and a timer.
Aimed at complimenting the popular Nightscenes annual guide to astronomical events for the year, Nightscenes - Guide to Simple Astrophotography shows you don't have to have a telescope in order to capture many naked eye aspects of the night sky with a camera. Mostly focusing on SLR/DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras however many of the aspects are also applicable to other cameras including the increasingly more sophisticated smart phone cameras. Topics covered include basic camera settings, constellations, how to image the planets against the backdrop of the stars, imaging the moon and its phases, capturing Aurora, Noctilucent clouds and much more!
