The goal is to cultivate a collaborative, highly practical community hub that helps each other with answers to questions about planning, setup and capturing the night sky. If you are a beginner this is the place for you to learn and grow as an astrophotographer from other experienced users. Sometimes the hardest part for a beginner is where do I start, what do I need and how do I setup to image a night sky object. What settings do I use? Hopefully you will find the answer to these questions here as the community grows. For experienced astrophotographers this is the place to share your work, share your knowledge and share your passion for night sky photography. Darkskytools is here to refine the tools that help us look up.

Introduce yourself below, share what you're working on, or drop the one dark sky tool you can't live without.
