Assuming you have the equipment, astrophotography is something many would like to try, but it remains a challenging field of photography to get right.
Even with the best gear, you’ll likely need to turn to editing to produce the sort of images you’ve envisioned.
A helpful guide has been produced by Karl Perera, which looks at some editing techniques to bring the dimmest of astronomical objects into clearer view.
Much of the tips revolve around using Photoshop, along with another tool called Siril, yet Gimp software can also be used.
While this editing guide helps finish off captured images, the comments point out that the guide doesn’t highlight the other important steps needed to capture the images in the first place.
