About me and astrophotography

Posted: February 4th, 2007 by HrAstro

Astrophotography poses challenges that are distinct from normal photography because most subjects are usually quite faint, and are often small in angular size!
I decided to take this challenge and make this site in order to present you my work in this discipline that popularises astronomy so much! (more about me)

And now I'm going to stop yapping and show you what I got. Enjoy!

School of astrophotography

You're a proud owner of a telescope, and for some strange reason you also have a camera. So, have you ever wondered whether is it possible to photograph anything? Believe it or not, the answer is yes. For such a purpose any digital camera will do. The only question that remains, is which method should be used. If you own an automatic camera, you'll be limited only to lighter objects like the Moon, or the planets, and the only method which is at your disposal is the Afocal method. If you own a professional SLR digital camera almost all the doors are opened. The only problem may represent the rest of the equipment.

Mario: Ona fotografija sa Light painting tehnikom mi je baš prva liga...prvo sam mislia da je neki strip ili nešto dok nisam pročita komentar ispod :D

Bobo: Krajem mjeseca imamo dogovorenu izlozbu astrofotografija u Cinkušu, pa ako ho?eš sudjelovati, javi se :)

HrAstro: Somewhat my mistake not to make a mention that I was manually guiding with Makstuov 90/1250 and Microguide EP 12.5mm

Chris D: Hi - fab photo of M42! Trying it myself. Wondered how you polar aligned your ED80 and mount (is that the EQ6 with the ED?) to get such well-tracked 7 minute exposures? Congrats and thanks, Chris

sakib: Very nice imagery! @Nina: Yes it is possible to observe the brighter nebulae from light polluted skies. Light pollution reduction filters can also be used to minimise the light pollution. If you don\'t have a telescope but plan on buying one, it is best to attend some star parties held my any local astronomy clubs

nina: great work! keep on with it! i have one question-is it possible to see any nebulas or other sky objects if living in a lager city with sky pollution?

Name: This is excelent man, you should be pro

Vedran: Why Mak is not on equipment list???

Alan: lol Matija ! You left a nore in my guestbook that me images should be made into posters ???? Man, your should be made into giant billboards ! Mega-cool ! Beautiful !
