ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Astrophotography or astronomical photography is a wonderful discipline that unites the extraordinary universe of astronomy with the exciting world of digital photography to portray the most spectacular images of the Moon, the Sun, the planets, the stars, nebulae and galaxies.
Astrophotography is a mix between photography and amateur astronomy that consists in the photographic capture of images of celestial bodies.
The use of photography in deep sky astronomy has a number of advantages over direct observation, in that the photographic emulsion, exposed for a sufficiently long time, is also impressed by visible radiation of too weak an intensity to be perceived by the human eye, even with the aid of powerful telescopes.
