ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews equipment that can make or break an evening photography session. It reviews general field gear as well as equipment specific to astronomy and photography. A simple chair has the ability to transform an evening of nightscape photography from a battle of endurance to a relaxing night in the outdoors. Backpack chairs are perfect for carrying equipment and supply a short distance, and also help whenever a brief nap is needed. The polarizing filter is very effective in enhancing the contrast of rainbows and moonbows owing to its ability to block the light reflected from the front surfaces of the water drops and thus enhance the relative intensity of the internally reflected light. The external hard drives also provide the option of emptying memory cards after each night to create room for new images. Preliminary versions of multiple shot projects can also be tested and verified so that any necessary adjustments can be made during subsequent nights.
