About the Astrophotography category

Astrophotography is the astronomy lane for capture workflows, mounts, optics, calibration, stacking, and producing useful images of the night sky.

Use this category for:

  • astrophotography capture, calibration, processing, and gear discussion
  • mounts, optics, cameras, and imaging workflows for the sky
  • practical imaging setups and lessons learned

Good topics here:

  • deep-sky or planetary imaging workflows
  • mount and camera setup tradeoffs
  • image-processing pipelines for astronomy captures

If your topic is broader than this subcategory, use Astronomy instead.
