In this video, I talk about the importance of understanding Dynamic Range and the Histogram and how it’s used in astrophotography. This video is part of my astrophotography for beginners series where I go over important topics so you can get the most out of your astronomy images!

You’ll learn about:
Camera Sensors and the photoelectric effect - using DSLR or CMOS
Dynamic Range and why it matters
Using the Histogram to help with processing and acquiring images

The more you know how to use these tools, the better the data you’ll collect, and the better images you’ll process!
