Astrophotography 
Group Maintained by GWARmachine
There are so many stars that we can't see with the naked eye. Thankfully our cameras can! Please share your pictures of the heavens here. Please be descriptive when giving details of how you obtained the shot (i.e. lens used, exposure time, f/stop, ISO, etc.) so that others may learn from your experience. Thank you.
“Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.” -Edwin Hubble
