That said, I wonder why FF makers don’t build more lenses with fastest apertures of f5.6 or f8 given that they would be much lighter than faster FF lenses? If FF manufacturers built m...

Thanks Plato and RobTrek, I guess I've always been interested in Astronomy so the progression to astroimaging was pretty natural for me. I've also always done "normal" photography, especially when traveling, but never mastered the art. I understand how shutter speed, f-stop, ISO etc. work, but haven...

Thank you Gearhead, There is a fair amount of work that goes into getting these images, all of which were captured by cameras with monochrome Kodak CCD sensors cooled at a constant temperature, usually about 20 to 30 degrees C below the ambient temperature. I end up capturing numerous Individual ima...

Following up on Rob's recent chat session on Astrophotography, I am posting links to some of my images. Most of these were taken with an Astronomical CCD camera which happens to have a micro 4/3 sized chip. Specifically it is a Kodak KAF 8300 sensor: https://www.universepics.net/ I have also posted ...
