This
site
is
designed
to
take
complete
amateurs
through
the
Astrophotography
process
and
set
you up with the basics to then further hone your new hobby.
I
wont
just
be
explaining
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
how
the
hobby
works,
as
I
image
throughout
the
year
I
will
be
posting
not
just
what
I
am
imaging
but
when
and
how
I
am
imaging
the subject in question with information like the Camera used, the Camera’s settings ie..
ISO settings, exposure, equipment used be it a telescope, camera or camera & lens.
If
you
are
a
complete
beginner
then
a
good
place
to
start
is
to
have
a
read
through
the
Basics
Page
to familiarise yourself with the sort of equipment you are likely to need to get started in
Astrophotography.
If
you
have
some
experience
in
Astrophotography
then
feel
free
to
take
a
look
at
the
images
that
I
have
taken
and
if
you
have
any
Astro-photos
that
you
have
taken
and
would
like
them
featured
in the Users Gallery then send them to me via the
Contact Page
.

How to Use This Website
For every picture that I take and post to the galleries I will include the following on each page -
My
intention
is
for
beginners
or
people
who
haven’t
imaged
a
certain
object
before
to
use
the
settings
on
each
page
to
capture
a
similar
image
to
the
one
taken
by
myself.
I
understand
that
everyone
uses
different
scopes
and
camera
equipment
but
by
tweaking
the
settings
a
bit
should
get
you
close.
I
use
a
Canon
EOS
450D
Astro-modified
DSLR
for
all
of
my
imaging
so
this
website
is
geared
up
for
DSLR
Astrophotography.
In
the
future
I
may
go
down
the
cooled
CCD route, possibly.
