Many different choices out there. I do it β€œold school” with my Canon DSLR attached to my telescope with an adaptor. I have an 11” Celestron. Others use deep sky cameras, which don’t have traditional lenses/mirrors. Smaller and lighter. But I prefer telescope and camera.

Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), February 6th 2026. What a beauty of the southern sky. Experimenting with exposures, image stacking and processing because I am a massive nerd. Carina Nebula is 8,500 light years away. #astrophotography
