Top 5 tips from the iReport astrophotography roundtable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Thanks to everyone who attended Thursday's Facebook chat/roundtable on astrophotography! It was great to talk to so many of you interested in shooting images of space and stars.
Our special guest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jay GaBany, had plenty of advice for iReporters. Here are just a few of the highlights:
1. The basics "The basic equipment needed for astrophotography is a good tripod and a DSLR camera or a camera that enables you to take long exposures (at least 30 seconds),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
2. Astrophotography is best outside the city "Light pollution is a big problem and I recommend that you drive away from the city if possible. If that is not practical, then aim for the highest part of the sky. This is where light pollution is at its lowest. Neutral density filters will not remove light pollution. In fact, it will make the stars appear dimmer to the camera sensor."
3. What about iPhones? "iPhones are great for taking pictures of people and places you visit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but iPhones are not capable of taking long enough exposures to capture stars. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it should be possible to hold your iPhone up to a telescope eyepiece and take an image of the moon."
4. Top telescopes "I recommend Meade or Celestron telescopes for beginners. They have (relatively) inexpensive instruments that can track the stars as they move through the heavens. You can attach a camera and take pictures of the planets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!"
5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. When to practice what you've learned next "Here's some night sky events that are coming up.
"October 20,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 21 - Orionids Meteor Shower. The Orionids is an average shower producing about 20 meteors per hour at their peak.
"November 13 - Total Solar Eclipse. The path of totality will only be visible in parts of extreme northern Australia and the southern Pacific Ocean,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A partial eclipse will be visible in most parts of eastern Australia and New Zealand.
"November 17, 18 - Leonids Meteor Shower. The Leonids is one of the better meteor showers to observe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], producing an average of 40 meteors per hour at their peak. The shower usually peaks on November 17 18, but you may see some meteors from November 13 - 20."
And one more thing…
"Here's a tip for composing your next sky picture- include something on the ground such as a tree or building,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It results in a very interesting picture because it gives people some they can recognize,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
Thanks to GaBany for all the great feedback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! We look forward to your future shots of the heavens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
