Astrophotography


Astrophotography is a type of photography that involves attaching a camera to a telescope in order to take pictures of astronomical objects in the night sky. Examples of these items include the moon, stars, planets, and comets. By employing exposure times that are very lengthy, astrophotography can also be utilized to record astronomical phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye.
