It’s a process.
Advances in technology including equipment and software make astrophotography available to anyone with the dedication to pursue it.
Our current setup includes the 26” Newtonian Reflector and Vixen 114mm F/5.3 APO Refractor telescopes. We use a 6” f/15 Jaegers Refractor and an SBIG ST-8 CCD camera for guiding. Imaging cameras include an unmodified Nikon D800 DSLR and a AWO ASI174MM (Mono) with an Optec IFW filter wheel and Optec Remote Focuser. We use Pixinsight and Photoshop softwares for processing.
