Joys of Astrophotography - Part One (of total 3)

The presentation (part one of three) deals with beginning of astrophotography as well as delving into little details of how to go about creating stunning panoramas of the night sky. The presentation is also a showcase of my astrophotography, using only a camera, tripod (but no mount, telescope, computer....). I think you will find the presentation very interesting. The presentation is a part of Nehru Planetarium, New Delhi 'Summer Celebration of Astronomy' web lectures held in June/July 2010.

Thank you very much for your video. You are proving even entry level DSLR can do a lot. I'll buy a Pentax K-r to do astrophotography, and I can't wait to see the results. Everyone is orienting me to Canon, but it now lacks of reliability.

Anyway, Thank you very much for your serie of video,

Have a nice day.

Greetings from France.
