Choose the RAW (or RAW + JPEG) Image File Format It's obviously the best file format to shoot in when doing astrophotography as it gives you more control over how it is manipulated and enhanced later on....

The Canon EF 24-105mm F/4L USM IS lens is an excellent choice for astrophotography. This unique focal length offers a way to create interesting photo opportunities not available with a traditional wide-angle lens....

Astrophotography is all about collecting the most of the available light, and for this reason prime lenses are to be preferred. ... But this does not mean astrophotography is not possible with zoom lenses: if you have a look at astrobin, for instance, you will see plenty of wonderful images taken with zoom lenses....

Astrophotography is all about collecting the most of the available light, and for this reason prime lenses are to be preferred. We already saw prime lenses offer wider aperture and have less glass the light has to pass through. ... This is the reason why telescopes and refractors for astrophotography are prime lenses....

Astrophotography is all about collecting the most of the available light, and for this reason prime lenses are to be preferred. We already saw prime lenses offer wider aperture and have less glass the light has to pass through. More aperture means more light, and less glass means “better” light....

Lastly, if you are doing deep-sky astrophotography, you have more leeway. However, wider apertures are still preferable, since they can cut down your exposure times dramatically. Depending upon the sharpness of your lens and the dimness of your subject, use an aperture around f/2.8 to f/5.6....

In astrophotography, to dither means to shift the pointing direction of your telescope (via the telescope mount) in random directions between each exposure. This technique is a useful way to create images with a better signal-to-noise ratio by “canceling out” hot pixels, fixed pattern noise, and more....

If the target and stars drift across the frame in the same direction as the "walking noise" streaks, then it is utterly undeniable that the field is drifting and that is causing the streak pattern in the noise structures....

From this alone, it should be clear that RAW format is the winner when it comes to astrophotography. ... Shooting in RAW will make all these usual steps in the astrophotography editing workflow much easier and successful, for a better image quality....

2. Wide-angle lenses (14-35mm) This is probably the most useful focal length range for landscape astrophotography. It allows you to include both landscape and sky in a single frame, without the need for shooting multiple overlapping images and then assembling them into a panorama....
