Hey folks and welcome to my amateur astrophotography channel!
I’m Chris, a physicist with a passion for all things cosmic and I’ve crafted a step-by-step course that takes you from the basics of astronomy, through the hardware you’ll need, to the software that will help you capture stunning images.
Here, you'll find everything a beginner needs—whether it’s understanding star movement, choosing the right mount, or learning how to process your images. This channel is designed to be your go-to guide in making astronomy not only educational but also fun!
As a science teacher (physics, math, IT), I believe in structured learning. So, the course is broken down into easy-to-follow lessons:
• A) Basic theory
• B) Hardware
• C) Software
• D) Image acquisition
• E) Processing
...and so much more!
Join me on this journey to explore the universe, where every newcomer can feel confident and excited to learn!
Clear skies, and see you in the next video!
Chris
