I love this kind of stuff, when I get enough money saved up one day im gonna have to get me a telescope and learn me the stars. Thx for this, beautiful images.

You do not need a big or expensive telescope a 150 to 200mm will do. Also a camera for astrophotography is needed.

can you tell me who the songs by, thank you.

would the Orion skyquest XT8 be able to produce images like these?? I dont mean taking pictures just seing images like these…in such detail or close to it…answer please??

You can see the planets, moon and sun with colors. But you can’t see the beautiful colors of the deep sky objects…. Just grey and black even with much bigger teleskopes! That’s why I’m only interested in photographing the night sky! You never can see a lot of details directly with your eyes except of very bright areas.

if I use filters, will I see colors? and will I be able to see in as much detail as in the video? instead of just seeing blobs….
February 8th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
not really. You only see one color => the color of the used filter. You may have a bit more contrast but its still a blob…. You will never see the object like an astroimage is showing it…. That’s not a problem of the scope – no- its because of our “bad” eyes…. “All cats are grey in the night” – you know !

So would a thousand dollar telescope be able to pick up nebulas ? For example, could I attach my canon eos xti with some kind of adapter to it and get pictures? I know dobs telescopes arent good for astrophotography because youll need some kind of goto platform for them, but ive seen it done on a few forums.
thx

You can takes space images with nearly every telescope… it’s only a question of the images quality. Necessary is a motorized telescope mount for star tracking. This is more important than the optics. Have a look about so called “german mounts”. The Canon is a good choice for astro imaging.

nice video, how can I get the basics for astrophoto, I have a celestron XLT 150 equatorial mount and motor, the t ring adapter, what else I need and7or where can I find basics for astrophoto?

Try large web forums. You’ll find several in the web. Often you’ll find a “astrophoto beginners” thread with many useful informations

Are you taking these shots?
If so what Equipment do you use
June 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Yes, all these images are taken by myself. The equipment: 4″ Takahashi APO refractor and a Canon EOS 20Da on a Losmandy G11 mount.
June 20th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
WOW… a 4″ Tak and a Losmandy… thats alot of money well spent!
