The night sky is filled with immense beauty and mystery, and it’s no wonder so many photographers want to learn how to take great photographs of all it contains: the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, and beyond. But for photographers just getting started photographing the cosmos, some books veer into “advanced” territory way too quickly, filled with difficult theory and long, expensive lists of “must-have” gear. If you’re just starting your adventure in astrophotography, The Beginner’s Guide to Astrophotography is the book for you! Photographer Mike Shaw teaches you everything you need to know to capture great images of the night sky—without breaking the bank or needing an advanced physics degree. In this book, you’ll quickly gain an understanding of the night sky, then dive into gear and settings. Regardless of the camera you own (smartphone, DSLR, or mirrorless), you’ll be able to capture shots you love. You’ll learn all about the gear you absolutely need (and what you don’t) as well as the accessories that will make your astrophotography life easier. Then you’ll dive into camera technique: exposure settings, focusing tricks, and composition techniques to get the shot. You’ll also learn about the best apps for astronomy, weather, planning, and navigation. Mike walks you through how to plan a shoot, set up for it, and capture your images. Finally, you’ll learn the post-processing techniques that will have your images looking their best. You’ll learn how to photograph: • The moon (full, crescent, lunar eclipse, solar eclipse) • The Milky Way (the core, the central band) • Constellations (Orion, Perseus, Scorpius, etc.) • Asterisms (Big Dipper, Summer Triangle, Orion’s Belt, etc.) • Star trails • Planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars) • Aurora Borealis • Meteors • Satellites (such as the Internaional Space Station) • Nebulae • Star Clusters • Galaxies • Comets • And more!

I highly recommend this book. Review: Great Book for beginners - Kindle Edition reads well - Purchased this to learn night photography with my daughters. The original book was damaged in shipping. It was a beautiful book with amazing sample photos. But like another reviewer mentioned the text is a thin and light font on a dark background and for me was difficult to read. Since the book was already damaged we returned it and got the kindle version. It’s been very easy to read and follow. And it looks to have most of the sample photos and diagrams. Which show up well even on an iPhone. So far we’ve been very happy with the books content. And have leaned a lot. Much easier read than some of the other very technical Astrophotography books looked at. Yet very thorough and has answered all my questions so far. We like the book enough we may order another paperback just as a coffee table book and for the full size photos. Thanks again for a great book and for taking the time to make the Kindle version decent too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,830 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Astrophotography (Books) #21 in Digital Photography (Books) #25 in Star-Gazing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 137 Reviews | ## Images ![The Beginner's Guide to Astrophotography: How to Capture the Cosmos with Any Camera - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IeizNc3WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by S***N on March 15, 2026* This is a very well written and understandable book for an astro beginner like me.
