Simple Astrophotography With A Telescope and DSLR: Part 1

This video is intended for beginning or inexperienced amateur astronomers or beginning astrophotographers. The video discusses the advantages and/or necessity to learn to take photographs through a telescope, especially in the case of dim Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) which often can't be observed in light-polluted skies with small amateur telescopes without taking long exposure photographs. Various methods for taking photographs through telescopes are briefly presented, including use of smart phone cameras, astronomy-specific cameras, and DSLR cameras. Instructions are given for attaching a DSLR to a telescope with a T-Adapter and T-Ring, and both prime focus photography and eyepiece projection photography are defined. The need for proper back space or back focus is discussed in order to bring objects into proper focus when a DSLR is attached to a telescope. Viewers interested in taking photographs through a telescope using smart phones are advised to seek out various sources, including the following Facebook group: Smartphone Astro Imaging For Beginners Music in this video is "So My Love - Instrumental Version", by Anthem of Rain: https://freemusicarchive.org/search/?...
