In it, photographer Glenn Randall — author of the bestselling The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photography — teaches you how to plan, shoot, and process professional-quality images of the Milky Way, the aurora, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, star trails, and landscapes lit solely by moonlight.
