Astronomy Fun Fact:Want to do something like this? Here's some points: First, a camera. Not your SLR autofocus point and click model either. The above image was taken with an Olympus OM-1. Second, a good software program for combining images (like Photoshop). Third, a way to guide the camera. Fourth: Choose the right film, setting and exposure. Experiment! Fifth: Try different techniques, including the above "counter rotation", and of course time exposure (star trails).
Astrophotography as art! Doesn't the photo remind you of a Van Gogh painting?
