About this work
Vertical panorama of the Milky Way during Perseids photographed from Oeschinensee with water reflections.
Here is a step by step guide to do astrophotography.
Equipment needed:
1) a tripod (mandatory to avoid camera shake);
2) a good camera;
3) a lense with a low f number such as f/1.4 in order to have as much light as possible reaching the camera sensor.
Weather and environment requirements:
1) new moon phase or moon not up at all because if the moon is illuminated it creates so much light pollution that almost no stars will be visible ;
2) a place with no light pollution (be far away from cities) ;
3) no clouds;
