ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the top twenty-five landscape astrophotography targets in alphabetical order. It provides an example of each one along with a brief summary of suggested camera settings. The suggested best times of night to shoot with respect to sunset/sunrise and the various stages of twilight are also noted. By doing so, we can easily make any necessary adjustments to account for our specific geographical locations or seasons. The number of images typically involved are also included, along with the suggested lens(es) that we might find appropriate. The majority of these images can be made anywhere in the world, with a few notable exceptions, so understanding these parameters can quickly get us up to speed.
