Lunar astrophotography is the art of taking pictures of the Moon. Since the Moon is close to Earth and very bright, it’s one of the easiest things to photograph in the night sky. People use cameras or telescopes to capture details like craters, mountains, and shadows on the Moon’s surface. Even a simple camera or smartphone can take great pictures of the Moon, but using a telescope can show much more detail. Lunar photography is a great way to start learning about space and practicing astrophotography.
