That's incredible! Astronomy and astrophotography is something I've been interested in too, though I've only really got as far as photographing star trails.

xonya51326y@wowotek It is a sum of 19 shots, each one exposed for 15 seconds at 1600 ISO, made with a reflex and a 15cm newtonian telescope.

xonya51326y@git-gud Clear skies are important but image processing can do miracles. I taken pictures from the garden of a small town and I usually had to remove an orange gradient from my photos to achieve nice results like this. Here it's how: http://astrosurf.com/buil/iris/...

Oh wow, this is awesome. <3
I love astrophotography. I was surprised at how many stars I could capture even in a very light polluted big city with my OnePlus 5T and 30secs of exposure.
Sadly, as someone who does not have a car and lives in a big city, crisp shots like these will probably remain a dream for a while. -
Scratchy746yThis is an amazing photo!
Just starting out in astrophotography as well. Other than the above replies do, do you have any other tips or tricks? -
xonya51326y@Scratchy Thanks. Suggestions can vary based on subject you would like to photograph and your budget. You can have a look at amateur photos on https://www.astrobin.com for having an idea of which instrumentation is needed and which software people use.
Another amazing activity is making a video of the ISS when it transits over the Sun or the Moon. You can use this site for calculating the next transits: https://www.calsky.com/

Amateur astronomy, even if I'm no longer doing astrophotography. This is an old photo, I made this in 2010 (it's the Andromeda galaxy, an easy subject).
