The first photograph of an astronomical object (the Moon) was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography.
Esimene foto astronoomilisest objektist (Kuu) tehti 1840. aastal, kuid alles 19. sajandi lõpul võimaldas tehnoloogia areng detailset tähtede fotograafiat.
