CameraKit: Model-Specific Astrophotography Setup Cards

A deck of laminated, waterproof reference cards (one per popular entry-level camera model: GF1, GF2, a6000, T6i, etc.) with step-by-step manual mode sequences, lens recommendations, and exposure tables printed on them. Each card is designed to fit in a camera bag or clip to a tripod leg for field use. Users buy the card for their specific camera model and follow the numbered steps in darkness without needing a phone or app.

Original Problem

Astrophotography beginners struggle to configure older camera models for night sky photography without clear technical guidance

Hobbyist photographers with entry-level mirrorless cameras like the Lumix DMC-GF1 lack accessible, step-by-step instructions for astrophotography settings and techniques. They face confusion about manual mode configuration, lens selection, and exposure settings specific to their camera model, causing frustration and wasted attempts that produce unusable images. Existing solutions are either too generic, scattered across forums, or assume advanced technical knowledge.
