Also, automation has invaded the camera marketplace, guaranteeing acceptable photos of daytime scenes by anyone able to point a camera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large;\">An ordinary camera can record unique, wide-angle views of the heavens that are not possible with a telescope.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large;\">However, an aspiring astrophotographer needs a feeling for shutter speeds, f-stops, ISO values, pixel sizes, and focal lengths. In addition, an awareness of the sky and timing are crucial.
