Astrofotografia: a utilização de registros celestes como ferramenta inovadora no ensino e divulgação de conceitos astronômicos

Abstract

This work seeks to show that astrophotography can be an ally in the teaching and dissemination of astronomy in schools and in non-formal environments. The work involved the development of practical and didactic itineraries for capturing astronomical images using basic astrophotography equipment, in order to allow teachers, educators and astronomy enthusiasts to use these resources in their educational and dissemination activities. In this context, activities carried out by the Observational Astronomy Group (GOA) were taken into account and astronomical instruments belonging to the group were used in the preparation of itineraries that use celestial photography as a teaching tool.
