Astrophotography

Astrophotography is the photographic art of capturing images of celestial bodies in the known universe and storing them on various media.

Photographic film or image sensors are perfect for astrophotography, as in contrary to the human eye, they can capture faint objects by using a long exposure time.

The Imaging Source has developed a series of astronomy cameras for astrophotography. The cameras, which are easy to use and have been finished to a high degree of precision, are known for their high resolution and long exposure time. Thus, they are ideally suited to astrophotography applications.
