Our friend Luca Fornaciari, is a real expert in DeepSky astrophotography, and the amount of material collected is really impressive.

We therefore leave only a list of a portion of the articles (which we will implement as we go along) by Luca that show, tell and explain what deep sky photography is all about, how to do it properly, what the most common difficulties or mistakes might be, and what instrumentation to use to succeed.
