Distributed-Aperture Telescopes: A New Revolution in Astronomy A new wave of astronomy is here. Instead of relying on a single massive telescope, distributed-aperture systems combine multiple smaller telescopes working together—unlocking new levels of flexibility, sensitivity, and precision. One standout example is the Condor Array Telescope, led by Stony Brook University. Since 2020, it has been…

Under the Same Sky: Women in Astrophotography Author: Richard Harris For most of my life, astronomy has been a quiet constant. Telescopes have changed. Cameras have changed. Software has changed. But the act itself has not. You step outside. You look up. You try to understand what you are seeing, and if you are an astrophotographer,…

Fighting the cold to survive astrophotography when it’s freezing outside

Get Started, Richard HarrisFebruary 27, 20261KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Astrophotography takes no prisoners when it drops below 30 degrees outside - and let’s be honest, it’s hard enough on a calm 70-degree night with low humidity. If you’re not prepared, you could be in for a long, frosty battle… and a few choice words for your telescope. Author: Richard Harris Author BIO: Meet Richard Harris. He is…

[Video] Astrophotography: 3 minute vs. 10 minute Exposures

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.12.14 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE I always get asked why I keep my exposures in narrowband down to 3 minutes. So I decided to compare 3 minute exposures to 10 minute exposures. This test was performed with my ZWO ASI1600MM-cool camera (CMOS) chip. The outcome may have been completely different had I tested with a CCD…

[Video] Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) With the Hubble Palette

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.12.31 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE I certainly didn't capture enough OIII and SII data for this object, but I wanted to finish the Jellyfish Nebula and move on. There are too many more deepsky objects on my list right now to get to. Here is more info: Target: Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) Imaging Telescope: Orion ED80T CF (480 focal length) Reducer: Orion…

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.12.28 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE The Soul Nebula (IC 1848) was not an easy one to process. Data for the OIII and SII filters were hard to come by, probably made worse by capturing it in a Red Zone and with the moon getting brighter. Here is more info: Target: Soul Nebula (IC 1848) Imaging Telescope: Orion ED80T CF (480…

[Video] The Rosette Nebula Captured With Hubble Palette

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.11.29 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE I captured this nebula over two nights with narrowband using the Hubble Palette. All three filters (Ha, OIII, SII) produced good data, so I felt I could process the image with 7 hours of data. Here is more info: Target: Rosette Nebula Imaging Telescope: Orion ED80T CF (480 focal length) Reducer: Orion .8 Mount: Celestron CGX Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool Ha=63x180s OIII=67x120s SII=40x180s Total Time:…

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.10.22 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE The Elephant Trunk nebula is always a strange beast for me - it never turns out the same way when I capture and process it. For this attempt, I didn't capture as much OIII as I wanted and now the weather is going to be bad for the next week. So…

by Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.10.3 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE I wanted to go after the Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) again. My first attempt was four months ago. Now equipped with a new telescope and better post-processing techniques, I thought it would be worth it to try again. I much prefer this result over my old one. I used all three…

By Chuck's Astrophotography 2017.10.1 SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE I am keeping busy lately. I've completed work on the Cygnus Wall (part of the North American Nebula - NGC 7000). I also finished NGC 7822 and captured Ha on the California Nebula (NGC 1499). I'm still using my new refractor. Here is more info: Targets: Cygnus Wall (NGC 7000) NGC 7822 California Nebula (NGC…
