A new procedure for computing electromagnetic fields in curved space-times is presented. With this procedure, the problem is reduced to solving one complex linear scalar wave equation. Many space-times of astrophysical importance may be treated in this manner, including black-hole and neutron-star spaces and cosmological models.
