One thing I love to capture is night photography. In this thread, I'll share a bit about how I capture and edit my night photographs.

It all starts with a plan: What am I trying to capture at any given time, and when is the best time to do so? Let's dive in. Later, I'm doing an AMA, so if you have questions, keep that in mind. :)

It's possible to just head out at night and wish for the best. Sometimes it can work, but astrophotography is a lot about planning.

I usually start my planning with the moon phase. It's the timing of when the moon is visible and at what time. View the moon phase. 

After you know what dates are best for the photograph you want to capture, you should check the weather forecast to have a clear sky.

Timing is also essential for astrophotography, and it can be a bit tricky if you want to capture the core of the Milky Way. From March to September in the Northern Hemisphere and September to March in the Southern Hemisphere, you will get the most impressive view of the Milky Way. It's because the earth spins around on its axis and how the angle changes in different seasons.
