Astronomy is known, geography is known.

This is the praise of the learned people in ancient China.

Astronomy has accompanied mankind since ancient times.

In that era when there was no GPS and no mobile phones, astronomy was an indispensable tool for human life.

During the day, humans judge the time by the sun, and at night, they judge the direction by the starry sky.

Once you have mastered astronomy, you don't have to worry about getting lost when you go out.

Because the starry sky is always the most accurate pointer.

The vast starry sky is silent, distant and mysterious.

As a result, in the long history of mankind, there have been various interpretations of the starry sky.

The three walls, the four elephants, and the twenty-eight constellations in ancient China are 88 constellations in modern China.

There are even strange people in history who divinate and gossip by watching the sky at night.

Modern people look at horoscopes and personalities through horoscopes.

Of course, Lin Nan didn't believe in these more mysterious things, and Lin Nan always believed that everyone's fate was in his own hands.

Just like on the basketball court, every lore is not a sign of luck, but a symbol of strength, the result of your daily efforts.

However, the various information checks in the past few days made Lin Nan feel that astronomy is really a very profound knowledge, and there is too much knowledge to learn.

And things like does the universe have boundaries, do there are aliens, what does a black hole look like, and so on, and so on, which everybody thinks about but no one has figured out yet.

Lin Nan didn't even delve into it, because he knew that these questions were too far away from the knowledge he currently had.

Now, Lin Nan just wants to learn astrophotography first and take pictures of the bright starry sky.

And Lin Nan also learned about a problem:

That is, astronomy ruined a lifetime, and photography was poor for three generations.

A set of astrophotography equipment, the most basic three-piece set: astronomical telescope, equatorial mount, modified SLR or CCS, CCD, add up to at least seven or eight thousand.

And that's just the basics, if you want to take clearer, higher-quality astronomical photos, the price will just keep skyrocketing.

Lin Nan instantly felt that it was really expensive to play astronomy, although he had earned a million in basketball, but Lin Nan did not have a concept of money.

Lin Nan knows very well that with this kind of cost, most families do not have the conditions to play astrophotography.

Of course, the starry sky is free, and everyone can look up at night.

However, since Lin Nan was in the starry sky group and saw the photos of those seniors after "coming out", he confirmed his determination to "enter the pit".

To the naked eye, the starry sky, which looks like a point of light, has become extremely beautiful under the power of technology.

Clear craters, sunspots, colorful Milky Way, nebulae, galaxies...... Even satellites, space stations, and so on launched by humans can be turned into photographs.

Lin Nan also learned that astrophotography can be roughly divided into three categories.

Hoshino photography, deep space photography, and planetary photography.

Hoshino photography is generally a starry sky with a view, and the themes are basically the Milky Way, moonlight, star trails, meteor showers, and so on.

The photographs are generally very dreamy, like the night in a fairy tale, colorful, serene and harmonious.

Deep space photography, on the other hand, generally does not have a landscape, as the name suggests, it is the depths of the starry sky, such as a specific wide-area galaxy or constellation.

The effect is very shocking, and you can feel the vastness of the universe very intuitively.

However, this shooting requires very professional astronomical knowledge, and Lin Nan is still far behind.

As for planetary photography, as the name suggests, it is the photograph of the planets in the solar system, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the surface of the moon, comets, space stations, and so on.

For example, shooting the moon is also shooting the moon pit, which is the choice of many novices, and it is also Lin Nan's first goal.

Once the goal is set, it's time to take action.

A year of basketball training has turned Lin Nan into a teenager with very strong execution.

So under the recommendation of the seniors in the starry sky group, Lin Nan immediately used his mobile phone to buy a set of astrophotography equipment for novices online.

It cost more than 8,000 yuan.

Among them, there are more than 4,000 bonuses for basketball players to win the championship, plus Lin Nan's New Year's money every year for more than ten years.

This point Lin Wolf and Ye Xinlan are different from other parents, since Lin Nan was born and began to collect New Year's money, Lin Wolf and Ye Xinlan have saved his annual New Year's money separately.

And when they grew up, they found that Lin Nan was very frugal with money, and basically never spent money indiscriminately.

So he handed over all the New Year's money to Lin Nan for safekeeping.

One or two hundred at the beginning, five or six hundred later, and then thousands of yuan, Lin Nan's New Year's money has increased year by year, just like Huaxia's economic development and per capita living standards, and has continued to improve.

Therefore, until Lin Nan was 15 years old, that is, now, it was just enough to buy a set of astrophotography equipment for novices.

Nothing more, nothing less, really coincidental.

And Lin Nan also told the wolf about it completely.

Lin Wolf naturally would not object, seven or eight thousand yuan is nothing for Lin Nan's current family conditions.

Lin Wolf was happy that now Lin Nan just had nothing to say to him, and the father and son could discuss anything together.

This is very valuable in Chinese families.

It has nothing to do with the wealth of the family, many children are in two states at school and at home, and only a very few students and parents can communicate with each other casually like classmates and friends.

And a very small number of families are basically happy, and the family atmosphere is also relaxed and happy.

Therefore, it is really important to learn to be friends with children.

If your child can be completely open to you, then the parent is basically successful.

Every adolescent child will have a rebellious period, maybe they know in their hearts that their parents are for their good, but maybe it is because of that tone and attitude that they just want to do their own thing.

Although many parents work hard outside the home, just to let their children study hard and be admitted to a good university.

But why, when you look very good on the outside and in front of outsiders, you can't be calm in front of your children in front of your dearest?

The son is not ugly for the mother, and the son is not for the poor.

For a normal child, whether he can be dressed, fed and drunk well is far less important than his parents' attitude towards him.

Luckily, the Timberwolves were reborn.

He treated Lin Nan patiently, and Lin Nan was far beyond his expectations now.

The "Million Club" has already taken its second step.

It's just that to Lin Wolf's surprise, Lin Nan chose the starry sky, or astrophotography.

It's a bit difficult to make a million in this area.

With Timberwolf's understanding, it feels like it is beyond its means, and even how to get in and whether it can get in is a problem.

Timber Wolf suddenly thought that in his previous life, that is, decades later, there was also a project of starry sky travel that had been popular for a long time.

Of course, this starry sky trip is not a trip to outer space, but a trip to sparsely populated nature camping to see the starry sky.

Because in the future, there will really be no stars in the city.

Still, it's visible.

Timberwolves also believe that Lin Nan can go from a basketball novice to a national champion in one year.

One million, what's so difficult?

After receiving the full support from his father, Lin Nan became happier and more motivated.

And the timberwolves will be home the next weekend, when all the astronomical equipment arrives.

At that time, the forest wolf will drive to accompany Lin Nan to Qinglan Mountain for the first astrophotography.

On the phone, Timberwolf also asked if he wanted to buy a better set of astronomical equipment.

Lin Nan decisively refused.

Because his "Million Club" plan is starting from scratch.

Everything is on your own, so that this "million" can be convincing.

It is barely reasonable to use bonuses and New Year's money to buy the first set of entry-level equipment of seven or eight thousand yuan.

As for the advanced equipment in the back, Lin Nan will find a way to make money to buy it by himself.

After listening to this, Lin Wolf instantly blamed himself for not thinking as thoughtful as Lin Nan.

Indeed, it is not a difficult thing to take a million to make a million.

The most important thing is that many people don't have a million, or even half a million.

That's why it's hard to make your first million.

And Lin Nan is now on the road to the second million.

And while the equipment had not yet arrived, Lin Nan used his spare time to frantically absorb astronomical knowledge.

Lin Nan knew why he wanted to go to the mountains to shoot at night.

Because of astrophotography, the shooting environment is very important.

If you are photographing a bright target such as a planet, the requirements for light pollution are not particularly high.

But if you shoot fainter ones such as nebulae, galaxies and the Milky Way that Lin Nan wants to see the most, a good shooting environment is a must.

The so-called good shooting environment is to stay away from light pollution, the night sky is cloudless and hazy, and there can be no moon, because moonlight is a very strong interference.

Lin Nan saw a map of the light damage in the urban area in the group, which showed that almost all the residential areas had fallen, and in such an environment, only a few bright stars could be seen scattered in the sky, and it was impossible to shoot a good starry sky work.

Therefore, the seniors in the starry sky group will call every time they go out to shoot "out of the stall".

Just like fishing, you have to find a lake with fish and bring your gear with you to start fishing.

According to the experience of the seniors in the group, there are many places suitable for "stalls" in Lingnan City, and Uncle Xiang and the senior astronomy enthusiasts in the group have been there.

Among them, the closest to Lin Nan is the Qinglan Mountain he used to go to when he was a child.

And according to Uncle Xiang, Qinglan Mountain is one of the best stall locations in the vicinity.

It is surrounded by mountains, sparsely populated, and basically free of light pollution.

As long as the weather is good, cloudless and hazy, the top of Qinglan Mountain in the dead of night is a very ideal place for astrophotography.

A Monday passed by, and all the equipment had been delivered to the home and was signed by Ye Xinlan.

Lin Nan couldn't wait to see the real thing.

He has already seen the model and assembly of astrophotography equipment on his mobile phone more than ten times, and is waiting to put it into practice.

And because Lin Nan is still a novice, he didn't tell Si Dong about astrophotography at all, and Si Dong naturally didn't take the initiative to ask Lin Nan what he was doing.

Although during this time, Sidong saw that Lin Nan's time with his mobile phone increased significantly.

Lin Nan was going to surprise her when she had a small success.

However, to his surprise, it was he who was pleasantly surprised.
