Imaging Deep Sky Objects with a Complete Astrophotography Setup – Astrophotography Tutorial

In this astrophotography tutorial I demonstrate the benefits of upgrading to and using a complete astrophotography setup. The benefits of autoguiding are demonstrated by taking a series of guided and unguided images at different exposure lengths, these images are examined, and the results are presented. I review steps involved in imaging deep sky objects with a complete astrophotography setup and Messier Object 33, the Triangulum Galaxy, is imaged during our 5 hour imaging session. Finally I walk the viewer through the steps I use for gathering dark, flat, and bias calibration frames.

Several amazing products are utilized and reviewed in this video including the Orion Sirius EQ-G goto equatorial mount, the Explore Scientific ED102CF-FCD 100 Apochromatic air-spaced triplet, the QHY Polemaster Polar Alignment Camera and software, Orion Magnificent Autoguider Package, a Canon T6i DSLR, my astrophotography laptop and the phd2 guiding software.
