You can place you astrophotography pictures in the Night Photos. Maybe later we can create a special section for astrophotography and move them there.

Looking forward to see some of your work!

My interest isn't so much in photography as it is in astronomy. Astrophotography is something I've wanted to try out for a while, and so over xmas I decided it was time to buy a DSLR camera and get started. To get me started, I picked up a Canon EOS 1100D, as I'd read that Canon were the best type for astrophotography.

I stumbled across an Easy Exposure video on Youtube and have just finished watching the whole series. What can I say? They're excellent! I was clueless on photography last week - I am someone who always relied on the auto modes on cameras (although I managed to get lucky with a cheap compact camera at an airshow last year - when I get time, I'll post a couple of photos from that!). After watching the first four EE videos, it all made a heck of a lot more sense.

I've taken a couple of photos of the night sky from my back garden so far, while we've had a break in the clouds. Not perfect by any means, and I'm not quite sure they fall into the "astrophotography" bracket just yet either - they're just long(ish) exposures of a constellation or two with the bog standard 18-55mm lens that came with my camera, so no stacking or post processing yet. Need some better equipment to do real astrophotography, but it's all a good start.

Just so that I don't get it wrong, would astrophotography pictures be best placed in the "Night Photos" section?

I wouldn't have got far without Easy Exposure though - at least, not as easily! Thanks, Oksana. Great series!
