Taking Photos of Space - The Whole Workflow Explained (with bonus RASA 8" images)!
Channel: Dylan O'Donnell
Date: 2019-05-06

I tried to make workflow cool but I also had a piece of fluff on my head while recording this, betraying the fact that I'm actually a huge dork. You may still enjoy this complete end-to-end workflow for how an astrophoto is created from start to finish and pick up some tips along the way. 

Full workflow graphic here : http://deography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/workflow.png

High res public domain images here :

Correction : The final images are annotated "Ha O/H/A" in the video but should read "Ha O/H/S"
