Present situation of celestial photography in celestial photography

With the popularity of digital cameras in recent ten years, and the leap of related image processing and capture technology, a considerable number of fans of traditional negatives have turned to cameras with digital photographic equipment as a tool for celestial photography, and the images presented have made great progress in definition and layering compared with traditional negatives. Digital astrophotography has also become one of the mainstream astrophotography projects.

A successful photo of celestial bodies has certain appreciation value, and some works can be used for scientific research. For example, meteor shower photos can be used by astronomers to calculate the exact location of meteor shower radiation points, and some supernova explosions are even recorded on photosensitive plates for many years before being recognized by scholars.
