So You Want to be an Astrophotographer

By Terri Zittritsch

I’ve been a lover of the starry skies and all things Astronomical since I was a young child after my parents purchased me a big book on the Solar System and all things having to do with space. After that they bought me a couple of telescopes, one of which I had into early adulthood.

I purchased my first real telescope after starting a career at IBM, an 8” LX5 and upgraded that to an 8” LX90 a decade or two later. During this time I was also an avid photographer for most of my adult life, being a fan first of Kodachrome slide film and then becoming an early adopter of digital SLRs.

At some point 10-12 years ago I decided to marry these two hobbies together and dip my toes into astrophotography and slowly experimented my way to where I am today, which is still an amateur, but love to look at the things I image, which is what matters to me.

What I’ll share here is less theory and more practical lessons I’ve learned in starting astrophotography and maybe help you avoid some of the lessons I had to learn the hard way if you’re just starting out.
