Comprehensive Telescopes Designs Guide
Posted by Daniel Amado on
The types of telescopes are basically 3, refractors, reflectors, and compound telescopes. Refractor telescopes are comprised by lenses, reflectors have mirrors and compound have both. There is no optical design that is perfect, so each design is more suitable for the specific astronomical subjects that are going to be observed, photographed, or studied.

DSLR and Mirrorless Settings for Astrophotography
Posted by Daniel Amado on
These settings are recommended for long exposure photography of deep space objects. The same settings are suitable for Nightscapes or widefield shots of Milky way using lenses and stationary tripods or motorized mounts and pictures of nebulae and galaxies using telescopes and motorized mounts.
