Amateur Astrophotography
Don't launch hereSelf-promotion or “I made X” posts get removed or banned.
Can you post your project here?
Self-promotion is not permitted. Posts should primarily focus on sharing and discussing original astrophotography work. If you link to external sites, they must be Astrobin or blogs/articles related to amateur astrophotography.
Before you post: Rule 1 explicitly states 'No self-promotion.'
The rules, in their words
- Post Types: * Image posts must be embedded as part of the post itself and not linked to external sites except Astrobin. No other sites permitted. Videos must be embedded in the post and not linked to external sites. * Links to blogs or articles promote interesting discussion about amateur astrophotography are permitted . No self-promotion. * Questions are permitted if they are about the posted astrophotography image, but all other questions should be posted to our sister sub, /r/AskAstrophotography.
- Real Astrophotography and Equipment Images Only: * Astrophotography refers to images of astronomical objects exclusively, which we define to mean objects that are above Earth’s atmosphere. Images must be an accurate representation of a real astronomical object. * Images that include limited landscape allowed if astronomical object is primary focus. No people or buildings. * Images captured by phone allowed if not low-effort. No starfield images without an obvious focus on an astronomical object besides stars or single-shot images.
- Original and Amateur Content Only: * Image posts can only be images that you have captured and processed yourself, or discussion about an image you are posting that you have captured and/or processed yourself. * Images acquired from public sources, professional observatories, other professional services, or anyone other than yourself are not allowed. * If you have done a drastic alteration or reprocessing of a prior submission, you may repost your edit - but only after a minimum of one week has passed.
- Post Titles: * All astrophotography object image posts must include the name of the object being photographed in the title, and it must not be 'clickbaity' or excessive. * Do not indicate the equipment used, acquisition details, processing details, or other superfluous information in the title. Instead, these details should be in the body of the post or a comment made immediately after posting. * See sidebar link for examples of good and bad titles.
- Acquisition and Processing Information: * All astrophotography object image posts must include acquisition and processing details. * Acquisition details include the telescope, mount, camera, accessories, and any other pieces of equipment you used to capture the image, as well as number and exposure of subs. * Processing details include the programs you used and a general rundown of the workflow/processes you used within those programs. “Processed in Photoshop” is not enough. * Be specific!
- General Etiquette: * Keep discussion on topic and focused on astrophotography. No discussions regarding politics, religion, UFOs, conspiracy theories, or other non-astrophotography topics will be permitted. * Treat each other with respect. * This community encourages and welcomes constructive criticism of images. If you think an OP can improve in any way please don't be shy and speak up!
