astrophotography = photography (transparent) = astro + photo + graphy
The word is formed transparently by adding astro- to photography, yielding photography of celestial objects.
Etymology
The word astrophotography comes from astro- meaning 'star', as in astronomy and astronaut, and photo meaning 'light' or 'picture'. So, astrophotography is literally 'taking pictures of stars and objects in space'.
