How to Avoid ‘Bad Astrophotography:’ Advice from Thierry Legault

But without bad astrophotography, where'll that leave me?

I try to avoid imperatives, but this is as close to a must read as I will probably post on this board.

...and this is why I do not even attempt astrophotography anymore. If I can capture it on video, cool. Anything else, I leave to those with the time, equipment, money and patience.

I am not scared. Just keep it simple. Seems like most problems are in over-processing and interpretation. Shoot the photo. Throw it out there. Don't claim to see green men waving from Titan.

Or run away... ;-)

Of course we can't see the green men ON Titan. The atmosphere is much too thick.

But when they are visiting here on Earth? Surprisingly more friendly than one might expect. They even like beer. ;D
