Astrophotographia


Picture
Astrophotographia is a specialized type of photography that entails recording images of astronomical objects and large areas of the night sky. The first photographs of an astronomical object (the moon) were taken in the 1840s, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography. Besides being able to record the details of extended objects such as the Moon, Sun, and planets, astrophotography has the ability to image objects invisible to the human eye such as dim stars, nebulae, and galaxies. This is done by long time exposure since both film and digital cameras can accumulate and sum light photons over these long periods of time.

About Me

Welcome  my name is Chondrogiannis Andreas.
Was born and grew up in Piraeus(Greece), now after 42 years I moved to Grammatiko a small village 40km from Athens. From a young age always had the habit to stare up the sky. At the age of 15 got my first 60mm refractor telescope(neither brand don't remember)was more game instead instrument of observation but in the eyes of a young child it was amazing.
Systematically
and at times I have been involved with astronomy by early of 1997 with many telescopes-toys- or russians binoculars.
