On April 8, millions and millions of people across North America got to glimpse a total solar eclipse.

If that brief foray into backyard astronomy left you hungry for more, never fear — we're here to feed your telescope fervor.

Here to talk to us about her own adventures in astrophotography — and offer tips and tricks for new amateur astronomers — is Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of New Hampshire.

Hi, Chanda. Thanks so much for being here with us today.

I'm excited to be here.

So, you are a professional astrophysicist, but you also recently became an amateur astronomer.

I don't know if I fall in the category of astrophysicist in a very clear way.
