Deep
Sky Objects
Deep
sky objects
are probably the most difficult targets to photograph, since
many
are diffuse and often dim, but they can be the most beautiful.
Now that the telescopes are permanently mounted and have been
accurately polar-aligned, long exposure photography is possible, using
one of the scopes to guide the other one. This makes
theoretically unlimited exposures possible, though the light
pollution levels of my region limit this to a practical maximum of
about 5 minutes or so.
I
am rapidly building a list of targets which I have attempted, please
follow the links below to see some of them.
