Astrophotography

What is Astrophotography? Astrophotography is a special kind of photography that involves making photographs of astronomical objects, such as the moon, sun, planets, galaxies, nebulas, etc...this involves taking photographs through a telescope (special gear is needed).

Tonight we have a full moon but it is unfortunately raining right now where I reside so clouds currently cover up the sky. However, here are some images I got of a Waxing Gibbous moon, several nights ago. I varied the shutter speeds to get a variety of brightness in the moon. Enjoy!
