I love astronomical photography. I have an 8” catadioptric telescope, which gives me plenty of magnification to photograph nebulae and most planets. I use a DSLR attached to it to take photos. It is loads of fun
The utter vastness of the universe is mind boggling.
I have a 4 1/2” refractor (hence my screen name) and a couple smaller ones.
I am planning on getting a dslr myself. Photographing the Sun with my cell phone ain’t working out so well.
