The colored rectangles show how much sky each setup captures in a single frame, using the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) as a backdrop. Larger rectangles cover more sky, while smaller rectangles give tighter framing. This helps illustrate how an extended target like Andromeda fits within each setup and where a mosaic might be needed. This is a comparison of framing, rather than image quality or resolution.
Explorer of the cosmos, one photon at a time. I capture the universe with a collection of about 12 telescopes, including the SCA310, Astro-Physics 155 EDF Starfire, TEC 180FL, and Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, and my beloved FSQ-106EDX4. Paired with advanced imaging systems - including the medium-format ZWO ASI461MM and ASI6200MM Pro with Chroma filters - these precision instruments help me reveal the faint structures, rich colors, and extraordinary detail hidden in the night sky. |
