In this astrophotography tutorial I review steps involved in imaging deep sky objects in the city. Four different deep sky objects are photographed in this tutorial including two nebulae and two galaxies. We are not always able to get away from the city to enjoy our hobby and since light pollution is such a growing concern for many, as are our shrinking dark sky locations; the viewer is also shown examples of how this impacts astrophotography.
Last Fall I acquired an Explore Scientific ED80 apochromatic refractor and in this video you can see for yourself how this imaging telescope functions, along with the rest of my budget friendly astrophotography equipment. For those interested in upgrading to their first apochromatic refractor or if you just want to learn more about this amazing hobby, then I hope this video helps.
