天文摄影
拍摄恒星，行星和流星等天文物体的照片，月食或日食等天体事件以及夜空的其他现象都属于天文摄影的宽敞保护伞。天文摄影彻底改变了专业天文学研究领域，因为长时间的曝光使得记录恒星和令人敬畏的星云的图像成为可能，否则人眼是不可见的。最终，光学望远镜被设计成使用照相板记录光线，基本上像巨型相机一样工作。
摄影师可以使用具有长时间曝光功能的胶片和数码相机来捕获这些类型的照片，因为光光子能够随着时间的推移而积累。然而，特殊的设备和技术对于捕捉细节至关重要，因此进入天文摄影不是开玩笑的。
由于其对特定条件和特殊硬件的独特需求，天文摄影通常是业余天文学的一个分支。但是，对夜空充满热情的摄影师也可以通过获得正确的设备，使用正确的相机设置以及学习一些特殊技术来参与其中。三脚架、望远镜、固定广角照相镜头相机、跟踪支架、成像传感器和后处理工具只是出色的天文摄影所需的一小部分。
ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Taking photos of astronomical objects like stars, planets, and meteors, celestial events like lunar or solar eclipses and other phenomena of the night sky all fall under the spacey umbrella of astrophotography. Astrophotography revolutionized the field of professional astronomical research as long-time exposures made it possible to record images of stars and awe-inspiring nebulae that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. Eventually, optical telescopes were designed to record light using photographic plates, essentially functioning like giant cameras.
Photographers can use both film and digital cameras with long-time exposure functions to capture these types of photos since light photons are able to accumulate over time. Special equipment and techniques, however, are pretty essential for capturing details so getting into astrophotography is no joke.
Due to its unique need for particular conditions and special hardware, astrophotography is typically a subsection of amateur astronomy. However, photographers that have a passion for the night sky are also able to participate by getting the right equipment, using the correct camera settings, and learning a few special techniques. Tripods, telescopes, fixed wide-angle photographic lens cameras, tracking mounts, imaging sensors, and post-processing tools are just a few of the items needed for great astrophotography.
