Master Landscape Astro Photography with Simple Techniques

For some time now I have been asked about my astrophotography technique. Specially after publishing some of the images from Namibia and last summer's Swiss astrolandscape. So decided to make a tutorial and also gather all resourced that I found useful on my journey to astro landscape photography. I have also explained the gears I used in those images and finally more detailed explanation of post processing.
