Inspiration
Although the nights are at their shortest, the height of summer is widely agreed to be the best time of year for astrophotography. That’s due to the increased likelihood of clear nights – a necessity for successfully seeing the stars. If you’re curious about this genre of image making, start keeping an eye on your local weather forecasts and have a look for nearby areas with a low level of light pollution. Shoot for the Stars Although the moon is the largest and brightest body in the night sky, getting a good photograph of it requires a longer telephoto lens than most people have to hand. If you want to dip your toe into astrophotography, you’re better off avoiding the moon and framing up the starry night sky. A wide-angle prime lens or the wide end of a standard zoom work well for this, making it a much more accessible starting point for beginner astrophotographers. 20 July: Anniversary of the Moon Landing Astrophotography
