Astrophotography is the practice of capturing images of astronomical objects and phenomena using specialized equipment such as telescopes, cameras, and filters. It involves photographing celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae, as well as phenomena like eclipses, comets, and meteor showers. Astrophotography requires careful planning, precise equipment alignment, and long exposures to produce detailed and high-quality images of the night sky. It is both a scientific and artistic pursuit, allowing astronomers to study and document celestial objects while also creating breathtaking visual representations of the beauty of the universe.
