   I'd be interested to know which gear was used for the bristlecone pine image. I'm guessing it was stopped down a bit to get both the sky and the pine in focus

   Tony Rowell's article came along at a perfect time! I enjoyed a 5 day workshop in Yosemite with Tony's dad a number of years ago. Then, just a few years ago I developed in interest in astronomy. And, just a month ago I had the opportunity to take my first try at astrophotography using the piggyback method Tony describes in his article. For those looking for more "how to", the best introduction I have found is Michael Covington's book "Digital SLR Astrophotography". For the vast majority of photographers the world disappears at night. But when it does, the cosmos open up and the chance to use our passion for photography to connect to nature and the Universe awaits. To infinity, and beyond! (To quote the movie "Toy Story")

   informative articel but still there is much for " landscape astrophotography " to be mentioned here. i am one of the fans of outdoor photographer magazine and fan of mr. Galen Rowell's inspiring outdoor photography. Reading this article is so interesting for me becouse i just wondered if there are many serious outdoor photographers paying attention to astrophotography as well . there is an international program " TWAN " The World At Night. astronomy can bring all people together. and astrophotography is one great way for this!
