Astrophotography

Telescope setup

Camera

Nikon D3500 - full spectrum modified.

If you are curious to mod your own, I’ve made a tutorial for it because at the time I did not have a tutorial to follow for this camera model. As you can tell by the picture my camera also has an old PC fan and small heat sink attached to it, to keep the sensor cooler while doing long exposures.

Software

Photo editing:

-DeepSkyStacker (stacking light frames)

-Pixinsight (main processing and stretching linear data)

-Starnet++ (star processing)

-Photoshop (final touches in camera raw)

Camera and telescope mount:

-DigiCamControl (DSLR long exposures)

-ASCOM Platform (mount driver)

-Nina (palte-solving and GoTo)
