his issue we prove to you how easy it can be to capture awesome
astrophotos. It may seem complex, but the right Canon kit, key
exposure settings, and a good location free of light pollution is all
you really need. This issue our Apprentice spends a night out with
Canon pro photographer Chris Grimmer shooting starry skies, and
