Some ideas that came to mind were M81, the Fireworks Galaxy, the Silver Dollar Galaxy, and M33. While I was tempted to do a nebula with narrowband filters, I have not processed narrowband images before, so I wanted to stick with LRGB or LRGB + Ha (hydrogen alpha). It sounded like I was going to get the time soon, so I needed a target that was in a good position this time of year. View was going to be 48x48 arcmin (or 0.8x0.8 degrees). With a sensor size of 36x36mm and a focal length of 2563mm, my field of It is just very good already once you are perfectly polar aligned.Īfter getting the camera specs, I needed to select a target.

The telescope rig in question is the following: - Mount: Software Bisque Paramount Taurus 400 fork mount with absolute encoders -Telescope: Planewave CDK14 (14 -inch corrected Dall In late October, Cary and Tolga Gumusayak collaborated to give me fivehours of telescope time on a Deep Sky West scope owned by Tolga of TolgaAstro with a new FLI camera on loan and some sweet Astrodon filters, and asked me to write about the experience! Deep Sky West is located in Rowe, New Mexico, under some really dark Bortle 2 skies. For example, another presenter, Cary Chleborad, president of Optical Structures (which owns JMI, Farpoint, Astrodon, and Lumicon), asked if I would test a new design of a Lumicon off-axis guider. I stayed on as a panel member for the channel and have gotten to know the other members. They asked if I would do a presentation on their weekly show, and I had a great time presenting "Astrophotography Joyride: A Newbie's Perspective" which can be found on YouTube.

When I was at the 2018 Texas Star Party, I met some folks from The Astro Imaging Channel, an online video series about astrophotography, who were going around interviewing people with astrophotography rigs and asking about their setups for a video they were putting together. It has been a fun adventure learning the hobby over the last three years! Recently, an awesome new opportunity walked my way: the chance to image on a high-caliber rig under the very dark New Mexico skies, from afar. It was a fairly difficult place to start astrophotography, but I picked it up quickly, and have since been given or sold at a good discount even better equipment and cameras. That telescope was an 8 inch Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain, and it came on a Celestron NexStar SE alt-az mount. I got into astrophotography at the same time I got into observational astronomy: July 2015, when I was given my first telescopewhile I was in graduate school.
