Taking a picture of a deep space object, like a nebula, star cluster, or galaxy, might seem impossible and only achievable by professional astronomers. This course breaks that myth and will introduce you to the necessary equipment, process, and techniques to image something far, far, away! This workshop includes 3-5 hours of field instruction and a 1-hour tutorial on image stacking and post-processing the object imaged in this workshop.
Below are the minimum equipment required for this workshop:
Small Refracting Telescope or Camera Lens (250mm - 600mm)
Sturdy Tripod
EQ (equatorial) Go-To Mount or Star Tracker
DSLR / Mirrorless / Dedicated-Astronomy Camera
