Sometimes I have my camera with me and I want to do a little astrophotography, but I have forgotten any kind of mount. So, what do I do in that situation? I could do super short pics and attempt stacking.
While I know open clusters are one of the least imaged things at Telescope Live some have been imaged they make a perfect target even when the moon is fairly bright too! I may book one we haven't seen imaged soon.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
