Everything you need to know to photograph and postprocess images of the night sky with standard DSLR and mirrorless camera equipment

Easy Astrophotography will teach you everything you need to know about photographing:

• The moon
• Eclipses
• The Milky Way
• Star fields
• Star trails
• Comets
• Meteor showers

A complete list of the equipment you will need is included, and since this book is for photography with your standard camera, lenses, and tripod, not telescopes and tracking tripods, you may already have all or most of what is recommended. 

All the camera settings you need are also included, as well as exact processing techniques to help you make your best images.

Illustrations with complete technical information throughout will help you plan your exact astrophotography strategy.[AuthorName]By David Skernick and Brian Valente[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]David Skernick spends as much time as possible traveling, photographing, and teaching workshops along the back roads of the United States.

Brian has won numerous awards and accolades for his photographic work and exhibits primarily in California. When he's not out photographing nature, he's behind his telescope conducting deep-space and planetary imaging.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]50 color and b/w images[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]Shooting the Night Sky[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]50 color and b/w images[/ColorPattern]
