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!

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.

Debayan: HI CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THAT DID BUY AN OTA OF C10-N? DEBAYAN CLEAR SKIES

Marko: Pozdrav. Zamolio bih Vas za jedan savjet. Želio bih kupiti teleskop: proizvođača Celestron, bez motora. Želio bih taj teleskop koristiti za promatranje Mjeseca, planeta (Venere,Marsa...), galaksija i maglica. Bitno mi je ne samo da se vide svi planeti i galaksije, nego da se i dobro vide mnogi detalji (i na planetima i u galaksijama). Zanima me ako imate iskustva sa tim da mi preporučite koje karakteristike taj teleskop mora imati (promjer i duljinu optičke cijevi). Koji je najidealniji odnos promjera i duljine optičke cijevi za ta promatranja? Za promatranje galaksija i maglica bolji su reflektori od refraktora, a za promatranja planeta bolji su refraktori, zar ne (pod pojmom \"bolji\" podrazumijevam da su reflektori pristupačniji cijenom, ali i da se sa njima galaksije vide bolje i sa više detalja budući da se za cijenu refraktora mogu dobiti reflektori koji su dosta većeg promjera)? I još jedno pitanje ako imate iskustva sa tim: da li je teleskop (reflektor) karakteristika 250/1200 mm idealan za promatranje galaksija (ali i detalja unutar tih galaksija) ili je za to potreban veći teleskop (većeg promjera odnosno dužine)? Unaprijed se zahvaljujem na informacijama.

Name: I decided to buy a 10\"newtonian.I was wondering, do should i buy a celestron 250mm on EQ-6,or Orion 254mm on Atlas EQ-G?

Raki: Do I need to replace the default focuser with a low level focuser on my C10 N to achieve a good focus with DSLR. If yes which low level focuser will work.

Miroslav: Vrlo lijepa i poučna stranica. Svaka čast! Super dizajn. :)

Matija: Poslao sam ti odgovor i na mail.. mislim da nije dovoljan samo jedan uteg! Meni na EQ6 su potrebna i dva.. no, najbolje da pitas dobavljaca jer nisam upoznat sa tom montazom itd

Name bospor: Posjedujem C10 advanced gt,zelio bi da mi kazes koliko je ukupno tezine dovoljno za balansiranje , jer sam dobio samo jedan protu uteg u originalnom pakovanju .Unaprijed ti zahvaljujem!
