Astrophotographers take pictures of the stars and other celestial objects such as constellations and the moon.k These photos usually have a backdrop from wherever the picture was taken.

The types of photos that are taken can be considered landscape, still life and nature.

The style of the photographs can be either realistic or documentary.

Starting salaries are around $17,000 while veteran photographers can earn up to $63,000.

Astrophotographers must be highly academically inclined in order to compete for the few jobs from scientific institutions.Taking advanced classes for photography will also help.

Astrophotographers either use a telescopic camera from the indoors or will go outside at night and wait for picture opportunities.

I am interested in this type of photography because I have always liked astronomy and the constellations. A reason this would be a nice living is because I already look at the stars for free and being paid for it would be pretty neat.

I plan on mimicking the procedures of an average photoshoot for an astrophotographer and trying to add backgrounds to my images. The different backgrounds will be my different series as I can not really change the way that space looks.
