Astrophotography involves photographing astronomical objects using specialised concepts and techniques. Photographing the night sky and the wonders of the universe makes these distant objects seem closer than we would ever be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are multiple ways of getting that perfect astral photograph as there are a multitude of subjects in the sky. Each type requires different techniques and equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naturally the first step would be to decide on the subject, be it the Milky Way or a meteor shower. With respect to annual showers it is best to check the dates when they would be at their peak to get best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the subject and the date has been fixed, searching for a suitable location is the next step. The lesser the light pollution, the better the night sky. It is essential to go as far away from the urban cityscape so the light pollution is at its minimum. Although the diffused light of the Milky Way can cast a shadow, which would make for an ideal condition for astrophotography. But there is little chance of seeing a shadow as the accessible places are usually light polluted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is best to go out in the daylight and scout the location to scope out any potential dangers or problems. Scouting the place in the day can also help you find interesting foregrounds to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
