AM3N harmonic equatorial mount arrives
Wednesday, August 27, 2025 by Richard Harris
There’s a special kind of relief that washes over a backyard astronomer when setting up under the stars becomes easier. I remember nights wrestling with a bulky mount and a counterweight heavy enough to anchor a canoe (anyone rememember the Atlas mounts?). If old Mark Twain were here, he might chuckle at the sight of me tiptoeing around a tripod, trying not to dro...
How ZWO changed amateur astronomy
Tuesday, August 26, 2025 by Richard Harris
There was a time in amateur astronomy when photographing the heavens felt as challenging as lassoing the moon - I've been there. A decade or two ago, if you told a backyard stargazer they could capture stunning nebulae and galaxies with affordable gear, they might’ve raised an eyebrow. Astrophotography was often the realm of costly CCD cameras, modified webcam...
Seestar accessories you need now
Monday, August 25, 2025 by Austin Harris
When I first unboxed the Seestar I was honestly surprised at how simple it felt. I popped it out of the case, set it on the tripod, hit the power button, and even with the battery only factory charged - not fully topped off - it just worked. All that was left to do was wait for the sky to darken. It felt almost brainless, and I mean that in the best way. Still, after a ...

The golden age of amateur astronomy is finally here
Tuesday, July 29, 2025 by Richard Harris

Fast forward to now: technology has unleashed a revolution in amateur astronomy. Affordable high-end cameras, exq...
Guide scope dew heater from Modulus Optics
Friday, July 25, 2025 by Richard Harris
Dew on equipment during astrophotography sessions is a common issue, especially on guide scopes. Without something to keep condensation away, water can blur images, mess with tracking, and possibly harm the optics. Larger telescopes often have dedicated dew heaters, but small guide scopes are usually stuck with big, awkward heater straps that don’t fit well or wor...

Perfect guiding with the ZWO 2600MM DUO
Friday, June 27, 2025 by Richard Harris
Capturing sharp, detailed astrophotography images requires more than just a quality telescope and a clear night sky. One of the most critical yet often overlooked components of any imaging setup is precise guiding. Without it, even the best optics and sensors will produce blurred or distorted images due to the subtle but constant motion of the Earth. Traditionally, guid...

Adding Luminance: The missing layer for sharper astrophotography
Wednesday, June 18, 2025 by Richard Harris
On a clear night under a moonless sky, a dedicated astrophotographer sets up a high-end monochrome CMOS camera (think ZWO ASI6200MM) and wonders: will an extra luminance layer really make a difference? Deep-sky imaging is a game of photons. We spend hours capturing faint galaxies and nebulae through red, green, blue, and narrowband filters. But there’s an unsung h...

Terrible telescopes we secretly love
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 by Richard Harris
Every hobby has its oddball relics, those weird, poorly designed, or outright dysfunctional products that somehow still manage to spark a flicker of desire.
