Smart telescopes have revolutionized the way we capture images of stars and galaxies. #GenAI has enabled telescopes to take long exposures and shoot multiple pictures, which are then composed to generate the final image. Check out this stunning image of the M45 nebula, captured by the Seestars50 telescope after a 35-minute exposure. #Astrophotography#SmartTelescopes#GenAI
Delve into the world of astrophotography with the innovative CDK telescope by PlaneWave. Developed by Dave Rowe, this telescope's optical design is a game-changer in the field. 🔭
Unlike traditional telescopes, the CDK is engineered to eliminate common issues like coma, off-axis astigmatism, and field curvature. This means you can capture stunning images with pinpoint star clarity across the entire imaging plane.✨
The CDK's design comprises three essential components: an ellipsoidal primary mirror, a spherical secondary mirror, and a lens group. Together, they work seamlessly to ensure exceptional image quality, making it the ideal choice for capturing the wonders of the cosmos.
Discover the simplicity and elegance of the CDK telescope and embark on a journey to explore the universe with unprecedented precision and clarity. 👉 PlaneWave.com#CDKTelescope#Astrophotography#PlaneWaveInstruments
Omar, an enthusiastic #astrophotographer, ventures into the mountains with dreams of capturing the universe through his #telescope. Omar's excitement quickly turns into a nightmare when….. but fear not, for help is on the way.
Many astrophotographers face a fundamental issue: the challenge of cable management. Discover how the EAGLE system and GHOST mode can transform your #astrophotography, by reducing the number of cables of your telescope. Don't let cable problems stop your astrophotography adventures. Watch now and discover how you can capture the poltergeists of your cabling with EAGLE and GHOST mode.

Featured Astro-Image of the Day:
Asteroid 2023 WM26 was ‘discovered’ by PanSTARRS on November 18th, 2023. Recent data has shown it to be active and comet-like. It has been suggested that this one was previously detected as comet P/2011 NO1 Elenin. I suspect the MPC will announce something soon. My image was captured during bad seeing but it did look cometary.

Hello #astronomers! Today, we are thrilled to announce the latest update of PLAY #astrophotography software, featuring the new PLANETARIUM sky chart!
When we control our #telescopes, we love connecting our mount to planetarium software with starts, planets, and deep-sky objects. This provides an interactive experience to explore the universe and an easier way to control our telescopes.
With the new PLAY 1.9 release, we’ve integrated the PLANETARIUM tab that creates sky chart based on your time and location settings, allowing you to identify stars, planets, constellations, and deep-sky objects, and point your telescope at them easily.
Here are some features of the new PLANETARIUM:
🔭 Real-time telescope position tracking.
📷 Field of view (FoV) plotting based on your telescope and camera.
🌟 Easy object selection.
🔄 Rotate the field of view with ARCO rotator.
✨ Suggested Targets feature with the best objects to capture.
PLAY now allows you to control your telescope in the easiest way ever, perfect for both personal and complete astronomical observatories like our Observatory Stations!
