Astrophotography is about taking a picture of an object in space, whether it is with a point-and-shoot camera, telescope or any other camera. Many of us think that for capturing the striking images of the night sky requires a professional camera and photography equipments and it is difficult to afford them. But, nowadays, it is possible for even an amateur photographer to photograph a beautiful object in the night sky. Here are some cameras and equipments which can help you to photograph a stunning image.

Cameras and Equipments:

Many professional photographers are turning towards digital DSLR cameras. These SLR cameras are multi-purpose cameras. Along with astrophotography, they can also be used for ordinary terrestrial photography. So, you can use these cameras for taking amazing shots in the day as well as clicking stunning photographs of the objects in the night sky. In addition, these cameras are less expensive as compared to dedicated CCD's. Some of the popular DSLR cameras for astrophotography are Canon 5D, Canon 10D, Nikon D2x, Nikon D3, Nikon D40, Nikon D70, Nikon D80, Nikon D90, Canon 20D, Canon 20DA, Canon 40D, Canon 50D, Canon 300D and Canon 350D.

The basic astronomical photographs are produced with cameras and photographic lenses which are mounted on a tripod or in a fixed position. Try to keep the exposure times short to avoid the stars point image becoming an elongated line due to the rotation of the earth. The focal lengths of the camera lens should be short to avoid image trailing. If you want longer exposures without photographs being blurred, employ some form of tracking mount.

Cable Release:

It means that you don't need to touch the camera to take the photograph, and you cna (can) open the shutter to do long-exposures. If you are using an SLR, cable release will be an electrical wire and you (will have) to get the one that suits your model. If you have a mechanical one, this will connect to the release button.

Use these cameras and equipments and you will definitely be able to produce a high quality image of the objects in the night sky.
