Well it's a new moon this week but up here in the North East it looks like we'll be having constant cloud cover, so here's a shot I took last month. This was my first proper attempt at Astrophotography:
Well, only way to learn is to get out there and do it. I had tried photographing stars before in my back garden but quickly realised I didn't know the right settings, didn't have the right lens (needs to be wide and fast), and didn't understand how to catch the right weather conditions - it needs to be around the new moon, very clear skies, and somewhere miles away from ambient light.
So a lot of research and planning, then just went out and boom! Got the above shot. There is a lot of cloud in the above photo as you can see, but hopefully next time it will be perfectly clear.
