What is galactic photography?

ANS. Astrophotography or galactic photography is photography of astronomical objects, celestial events, and areas of the night sky.

The first photograph of an astronomical object (the Moon) was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography.

Besides being able to record the details of extended objects such as the Moon, Sun, and planets, astrophotography has the ability to image objects invisible to the human eye such as dim stars, nebulae, and galaxies.
This is done by long time exposure since both film and digital cameras can accumulate and sum light photons over these long periods of time.
