The Vaonis Vespera Observation Station is a small robotic telescope designed to be smart and fully automated, taking the guesswork out of astronomy and making it easy for beginners to start their journey.
Photographer Marc Sellés Limós captured this photo of an epic lightning storm while also encapsulating star trails caused by the Earth's rotation.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning mosaic image of the Tarantula Nebula that stretches 240 light-years across and includes tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were not visible with previous telescopes.
Fans of astrophotography are currently feasting thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, but Hubble isn't ready to be forgotten yet. Its latest capture is a gorgeous glittering star cluster in the constellation Sagittarius.
Scientists have, for the first time, recorded a millimeter-wavelength light explosion caused by the merging of a neutron star with another star.
Last week, NASA shared a photo captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's guidance camera that, while imperfect, is the deepest image ever captured of the universe so far.
Photographer Samy Olabi spent a total of 70 nights over the course of four years capturing 12,200 photos that took a combined 2.2 million seconds to expose in order to capture the night sky using a mixture of DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
Ricoh has announced the second-generation global positioning system (GPS) unit for its DSLRs that it says provides reliable, high-precision positioning data and promises to simplify tracing for astrophotography.
Travel and adventure photography blog Capture the Atlas has published its annual Milky Way Photographer of the Year collection that showcases the best night sky captures from all around the world.
Astrophotography. We hear the term tossed around a lot these days but what actually is it? The true definition of the word is photography of the nighttime sky. The sky only—at night.
Capturing the expanse of the cosmos is one of the most challenging, yet most rewarding, experiences for a photographer. When the sun goes down, the cameras come out.
A team of international astronomers has discovered what is believed to be the most distant galaxy ever observed. Called HD1, it is 13.5 billion light-years away, 100 million light-years farther from Earth than the last record-holder.
The Hubble Space Telescope recently celebrated its 20th year using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), which was installed on Hubble in March of 2002 and became its most used camera.
Hubble has captured a stunning photo of two interacting galaxies that likely passed through one another, which caused them to ignite in a "frenzy of starbirth."
A new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases a spiral-shaped galaxy that lies around 150 million light-years away. But NASA says not to be fooled: its peaceful state belies a violent past.
A few months ago Unistallar and Nikon announced the launch of a new smart-telescope called the eVscope 2. The two companies claimed it was the world's most powerful and simple-to-operate digital telescope for consumers. While I absolutely agree the system is incredibly easy and actually fun to use, dubbing it as the world's most powerful is a hefty over-promise.
As he prepared to end his stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS), photographer and astronaut Thomas Pesquet decided to point his camera towards the vastness of space, revealing a stunning view of the stars with Earth in the foreground.
There are two things a camera should have to be good at astrophotography: a large image sensor and the ability to manually control camera settings. Yet somehow, the Google Pixel 6 Pro manages to capture stunning astrophotographs with the press of a single button. The image sensor, though much bigger than previous iterations of the Pixel line-up, is still tiny in comparison to mirrorless or DSLR cameras. But it’s the powerful machine-learning software within that makes the Pixel 6 Pro so good at capturing the stars.
Photographs of space are usually flat, telling viewers nothing about the relative distances of stars and galaxies seen in the frame. Finnish astrophotographer J-P Metsavainio has decided to change that by creating amazing 3D conversions from his 2D photos.
The Chinese lens filter brand Haida has announced its new NanoPro Soft Diffusion Filters. The lens filters are designed specifically for capturing soft photos of the starry night sky.
