Full Astrophotography Process with my Celestron 130SLT

Here is a run down of the full process that I usually undertake when going out and imaging for Astrophotography. The whole thing is a bit long for a single video but contains just about everything about the process.

The end image for this session turned out alright but definitely could've been better. Probably should've either spent more time on the target or picked on that I knew would resolve better but hey, I don't script my videos so here's what we got.

For those of you willing to go through the whole thing, I hope you enjoy!

If there are any questions, feel free to drop them down below and I will try to answer them the best I can.

I just made a website with some more information about Astrophotography! It's got some great info covering the basics as well as a bit more detail about my process. Check out the Astrophotography section!
