Astrophotography
The Astrophotography Section supports the imaging of astronomical objects using film, consumer digital cameras, cooled CCD cameras and webcams or similar. The objective of the section is to provide education, support and encouragement to those interested in this rewarding but potentially demanding pursuit.
An introductory article on astrophotography is provided below. For further information contact the Astrophotography Section Director. Also visit our Members' Gallery to view astrophotographs taken by AAQ members. There are many excellent websites on astrophotography on the internet. Some links to a selection of the external websites are provided below. |
