Astrophotography is the science and art of recording images of astronomical objects using film, digital cameras or video. The resulting images are beautiful, informative and inspiring. Astronomical imaging is the province primarily of amateurs, using their own equipment and developing their own techniques. Here are links to their image galleries.
