The Moon~
The Moon is our closest celestial companion, and provides endless opportunities for photography, whether through a telescope or using a camera and tripod. It also provides great practice opportunities for imaging other celestial wonders. 
Deep Sky~
Deep sky imaging is within the reach of anyone, through trial and error and the willingness to make mistakes. The purpose of this course is to cut through some of that trial and error, and propel the photographer a little closer to their goal of taking satisfying images.
Any deep sky image can be photographed, either though using long exposures or by using a series of short exposures and stacking. Deep sky imaging might be a wider angle shot that shows the surroundings or a close up.
