A Sky Full Of Stars (Thomas Pickett's Astrophotography)

Hi Everyone. I hope you are having a good day. :-)

Over the past year I’ve been enjoying doing lots of Astrophotography using my Canon EOS T3i/600D and two kit lenses, models Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS & Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III.

My aim now is to teach and show all the 40,000 plus members of my highly successful ‘FaceBook Astronomy Club’ that even with the most modest equipment you can take fantastic images of the night sky.

More than that, you can take award quality images of the stars, constellations and nebulae if you take the time and effort to learn just one thing – your camera. Yep. Simple as that!

I hope you all enjoy this new video I made. It has over 3,500 images of my best work. I simply love it and I hope you do as well.

Have a good day and clear skies until next time.
Tom Pickett. Administrator of The FaceBook Astronomy Club.
