Astronomy, astrophotography and space images are wonderful to look at but require visual abilities that not everyone has.

#Accessibility is important, esp. when we share our images of the cosmos so that everyone has access to enjoy them.

I have put together a little checklist that can be used as guidelines when writing your alt-text for your images.

Many platforms now also allow you to set up your settings so that you can't actually publish the post until the alt-text is in - which serves as a good reminder.

I hope this is useful! 👇
