Don't forget to sign the Guest Book (GUEST) and to subscribe the TAF Mailing-List (e-MAIL) to receive information about TAF updates :-)

The TAF - Tecnica Astro-Fotografica Web Page has been realized for the astro-amateurs that -as I do- are addicted to traditional astrophotography (not CCD), trying to unify the different techniques described in specific texts, integrated with most of the astronomy magazines "tips and tricks" and with our personal experience.
To achieve this, we appreciate your contribution to increase the informations published in TAF describing us your experiences, tests, results, tips and any other information you'll find useful for astrophotography amateurs.

In TAF you can find informations about everything you have to know, to do and to need for your astro-photos:

  • cameras

  • optical systems

  • photographic filters and diaphragms

  • guiding systems

  • exposure times

  • focal lenghts

  • opening ratios

  • photographic field

  • photographic films

  • films storage and processing

  • hypered films techniques

  • photographic features of astronomical objects

  • ..... and more .....

    Informations are usually reported in schematic form to allow a quick consultation; TAF is not an astrophotography book, so the text is reduced to the minimum. Where needed, practical examples, graphs, schemes and images besides the text.
    The data obtained from formulae or other calculations are collected into tables that can be visualized contemporaneously with the text.

    Even if an accurate check-before-publishing has been executed, because of their quantity some data could be omitted or incorrected; forgive us! We assure their prompt correction. Concerning this, we ask your precious collaboration notifying us every incorrect data you'll find.
