Welcome baaaack to The Astrocast!

This week on the show, Roo takes you through what it takes to shoot an HDR image of an incredibly bright Nebula, like Orion, and why you should try it! We also discuss the great, late, Akira Fujii, who has forever left his mark on the world of Astrophotography through his countless amazing images.
