Celestial Coordinate Systems: Astrophotography Series #1

Welcome to the first video in the Introduction to Astrophotography Series.
Today we will review the most commonly employed celestial coordinate systems, which are used to locate and track celestial objects such as stars, planets, and deep sky objects. We will also be covering related topics such as sidereal time, the Julian Day system, and the effects of axial precession and nutation.
