  1. Stargazing Parties

  2. Astrophotography Workshops

  3. Astronomy Talks and Lectures

  4. Science Fairs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Science Fairs are not typically organized by Astronomy Clubs and Societies in India. Instead, they focus on activities that are directly related to astronomy and space science, such as stargazing parties, astrophotography workshops, and astronomy talks and lectures.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge faced by Astronomy Clubs and Societies in India in promoting Astronomy Tourism?

  1. Lack of Infrastructure

  2. Lack of Funding

  3. Lack of Public Awareness

  4. Lack of Government Support


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lack of Government Support is not a major challenge faced by Astronomy Clubs and Societies in India. In fact, the Government of India has been supportive of astronomy and space science, and has provided funding and resources to various astronomy clubs and societies.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of Astronomy Tourism?

  1. Increased Public Awareness of Astronomy

  2. Economic Development of Rural Areas

  3. Creation of Jobs

  4. Environmental Degradation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Astronomy Tourism is generally considered to be a sustainable form of tourism that does not have a negative impact on the environment. In fact, it can help to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the night sky and reducing light pollution.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of Astrophotography?

  1. Documenting Astronomical Phenomena

  2. Educating the Public about Astronomy

  3. Promoting Astronomy Tourism

  4. Polluting the Night Sky


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Astrophotography does not pollute the night sky. In fact, it can help to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the night sky and reducing light pollution.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Astrophotography?

  1. Deep-Sky Astrophotography

  2. Planetary Astrophotography

  3. Lunar Astrophotography

  4. Astrophotography of Artificial Satellites


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Astrophotography of Artificial Satellites is not a common type of astrophotography. Instead, astrophotographers typically focus on capturing images of natural astronomical objects, such as stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Telescope used for Astrophotography?

  1. Refractor Telescope

  2. Reflector Telescope

  3. Catadioptric Telescope

  4. Radio Telescope


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Radio Telescopes are not typically used for astrophotography. Instead, they are used to detect and study radio waves emitted by astronomical objects.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Camera used for Astrophotography?

  1. DSLR Camera

  2. Mirrorless Camera

  3. CCD Camera

  4. Webcam


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Webcams are not typically used for astrophotography. Instead, astrophotographers typically use DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, or CCD cameras.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Software used for Astrophotography?

  1. Adobe Photoshop

  2. GIMP

  3. PixInsight

  4. Microsoft Word


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Microsoft Word is not a common type of software used for astrophotography. Instead, astrophotographers typically use software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or PixInsight to process and edit their images.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Filter used in Astrophotography?

  1. Light Pollution Filter

  2. Narrowband Filter

  3. Color Filter

  4. Polarizing Filter


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Polarizing Filters are not typically used in astrophotography. Instead, astrophotographers typically use light pollution filters, narrowband filters, and color filters.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of Mount used in Astrophotography?

  1. Alt-Azimuth Mount

  2. Equatorial Mount

  3. Dobsonian Mount

  4. Tripod


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tripods are not typically used as mounts in astrophotography. Instead, astrophotographers typically use Alt-Azimuth Mounts, Equatorial Mounts, or Dobsonian Mounts.
