99% of beginners have the same problem: astrophoto is expensive and complicated

Even before taking your first photo, obstacles start to pile up.

If you're like 99% of beginners, you'll find yourself facing these kinds of problems:

You don’t know what gear to choose (or if your current gear is enough) — without spending thousands right from the start.

You spend hours watching YouTube videos… only to end up even more confused.

You’re afraid of ruining your photos because of all the complex settings.

➤ You’ve tried before, but your shots turn out blurry, dark, or full of noise.


Good news: all these struggles are completely normal.

And more importantly: they’re avoidable.
Astrophotography can be simple and enjoyable…

as long as you follow a clear, step-by-step method.

In reality, it’s much

simpler than it looks.

Imagine a warm summer night.

Not a single cloud in the sky.

The Moon has set.

Almost no light pollution.

The sky is filled with thousands of bright stars.

Your setup is ready, and you know exactly how to adjust your gear thanks to the checklist included with the Astrophotography Handbook for Beginners.

With just a few simple settings, you capture your first series of raw images of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, for example.
No telescope, no heavy or expensive mount.
Just a DSLR, a telephoto lens, a small mount, and the right method followed step by step, without overthinking.

You head back home, ready for the image processing step (the part most beginners fear).

But for you, it’s easy.

You simply follow the processing chapter in the guide to bring out every detail and color in your photo,
as simple as following a cooking recipe.

Once finished, your final image is ready to be printed, framed, or proudly shared online, as you want.

✅ You rediscover the joy of learning without stress.
✅ You save hours by avoiding common mistakes.
✅ You reconnect with your passion.
🏆 And most importantly, you create photos you’re truly proud of, even as a beginner.

All of this becomes possible with a guide designed specifically for passionate beginners like you.

About the author

Hello!

I haven't introduced myself yet, so here's some important information:

My name is Arthur Debons, and I created the blog fais-de-la-photo.fr in 2018 to teach the basics of astrophotography.

After sharing my tips with over 7,000 subscribers to the blog's newsletter, I compiled all this knowledge and my methods into a paperback book: Astrophotography : Handbook for Beginners (yes, the one in the photo).

You can now discover the book instantly on your computer and phone with the digital version, followed by bonuses to help you get started in astrophotography with the best methods.

You've got questions ?

We have answers

What exactly will the guide teach me?

In practical terms, the guide provides a comprehensive method for learning deep-sky photography (nebulae, galaxies, star clusters) and Milky Way photography using a DSLR (or mirrorless) camera, a telephoto lens, and a small star-tracking mount. You will learn how to select the right equipment for various budgets, set it up correctly in the field, and process the captured images using free, user-friendly software.

Is it doable for beginners?

The guide is optimized for beginners. If you are starting from scratch, you will find all the explanations needed to fully grasp the basics and gain the know-how to take your first photos on your own.

How long will it take for me to get my first photo?

If you are motivated, you can get your first photo within the very first week; it depends solely on the weather and the time it takes to receive any equipment you might not yet have.

Once everything is in place, you will have your photo in a single evening. The method is very simple to follow and apply.

How do I get the guide?

Once your order is confirmed, you create an account on this site using your email address and a password to access your member area, where you will find the guide in e-book format (available for instant download to your computer) as well as all the bonuses. You will have lifetime access to your member area and your products.

How does the guarantee work?

The guarantee gives you time to test the methods and decide whether your new photos fully satisfy you. If that is not the case, you take no risk; simply let me know that the methods did not yield the results you expected, and you will be refunded immediately.

Does it work with a bridge or mirrorless camera?

This will work without any issues with a mirrorless camera; however, the method is unsuitable for a bridge camera.

I highly recommend using a DSLR or a mirrorless camera to capture your photos under the best possible conditions.

I've never used Lightroom, Photoshop, or any image editing software — is that a problem?

No problem; simply follow the step-by-step method to successfully process your images—everything is laid out for you.
