Astrophotography Assumptions That Are Holding You Back

The assumptions you had when you started astrophotography? Some of them are wrong. In this video I break down the "rules" that most astrophotographers follow — and why they're actually limiting your images. Same target. Same night. Two completely different results — and the difference comes down to which rules you're following (and which ones you should break). We cover: • Rule #1 — You Need Better Equipment • Rule #2 — Buying Means Improvement • Rule #3 — Don't rush to upgrade • Rule #4 — Don't image under a bright moon • Rule #5 — Expose for longer • Rule #6 — Stack everything! • Rule #5 — Stretch away! • What the data actually shows when you test these Whether you're shooting with a DSLR, a dedicated astro camera, or a smart scope like the Seestar S50 — these are the habits worth questioning. Drop the assumption that surprised you most in the comments below.
