Here’s how to take pictures of the moon using a DSLR or mirrorless camera and a telephoto zoom lens. I use this no-nonsense approach to take high-resolution pictures of the full moon (and its other phases). Ensure that your camera and lens are securely fastened to your tripod. A tripo...
I only use stretch mode 1. Other modes just add what I refer to as a grey mist look to the image. Similar to pulling the black point to the left of the Histogram hump.For EAA images I tend to pull the Black point a little to the left of the middle of the Histogram hump.I am ...
When you are ready to take your passion further, I’ll explain how to use a camera and telescope to take deep-sky images of galaxies and nebulae. This includes sharing my knowledge of camera control software,autoguiding, image processing, and much more. As you learn about new hardware optio...
Hello, I have an 8" classic dobsonian. I am wondering how I can do longer exposures to see nebula and galaxies better. I was thinking there might be some way to do this with a non tracking dob. I have a ZWO camera for it, so I was thinking maybe there would be a way to combine...
Joson and Aguirre obtained this hydrogen-alpha view of the sun on July 28, 2016, using the Coronado SolarMax II 60-mm double-stack telescope and a ZWO ASI174MM monochrome CMOS camera mounted on an iOptron AZ Mount Pro. In addition to the dark filaments, you can see small bright splotche...
and ZWO ASI1600MM main imaging camera. All of this rides on an Orion Atlas Pro telescope mount. Ancillary gear is also required, in the form of power delivery and distribution, dew mitigation, USB hubs and cables, and, of course, computer control. There are no turnkey solutions here, and...
If you’re using a dedicated astronomy camera like theZWO ASI294MC Pro, you won’t have the convenience of an aperture priority (AV) mode on the camera dial. In these situations, the camera control software will need to handle flat frames. ...

If you want to use your camera for planetary, then you will need an IR-cut (or L) filter, see Sec 6.2 of the FAQ for the reason why. Some people use a crayford style focuser in addition to the primary mirror focuser on their SCT to remove image shift when focusing. That's what...
Can you upload a single frame from the camera? I've never seen DSS output a file that looks like that. I've added two files to that OneDrive archive. One is the original AVI I've captured with FireCapture and the ASI174MC. The other one is a single frame straight from PIPP, after...
