Quotation
In my youth I regarded the universe as an open book, printed in the language of equations, whereas now it appears to me as a text written in invisible ink, of which in our rare moments of grace we are able to decipher a small segment.

Astronomy

SkyImaging is a site dealing with astronomy and more particularly with Lunar and Planetary astrophotography, and Deep Sky imaging.

Galaxdream 3D Moon Lamp

Here you will find a lot of advice regarding techniques about post image processing of your images with many tutorials available in the Tutorials section.

Want to try photography of the sky, but don't have an adequate telescope? The Equipment section will help you in choosing an instrument for astronomy (telescope? refractor?) and for taking photos of the planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and the Moon are just waiting to be downloaded on the page "Videos" in order to enable you to train yourself in astro-image processing.

This site is frequently updated to show you the latest images of planets and space in general made with a telescope. Similarly, tutorials are regularly adapted to new improvements in the field of the astronomical imaging for amateur astronomers.

The discovery of the planet Neptune was a triumph of mathematics. While studying the orbit of the planet Uranus, Urbain Leverrier realized that its perturbations suggested the presence of an unknown planet in an orbit beyond that of Uranus. Leverrier promptly calculated where the planet should be found. On September 23, 1846, the astronomer Johann Galle (in Berlin) looked at the indicated spot - and discovered Neptune in less than an hour.
