It involves using specialized equipment like cameras, telescopes, and tracking mounts which often requires long exposure times to gather enough light from distant objects. This technique helps to capture fine details and reveal the colours, textures, and intricate structures of celestial bodies that may not be visible in real-time observations.

​

Astrophotographers use various image processing techniques to enhance and bring out the details in their captured images. This involves reducing noise, adjusting contrast and brightness, and applying specific filters to highlight specific features.

​

The primary goal of astrophotography is to reveal the hidden beauty of the universe and showcase celestial objects that are often too faint or distant to be seen with the naked eye.
