Astrophotography Rigs |
Two astrophotography rigs are described to assist new astrophotographers struggling to understand the hardware required to configure their own rigs. One is a Wide Field-of-View (FoV) rig based upon a refractor with a 444mm focal length; the other a Narrower FoV rig based upon a telescope with a 1000mm focal length. Wide FoV Rig Narrow FoV Rig |
Wide FoV Rig: 444mm Focal Length Refractor
Short focal length refractor telescopes are the most popular telescopes for wide field-of-view deep-sky astrophotography. Their simple design and relatively short focal length makes them the "most forgiving" of the various telescope designs used by amateur astronomers for astrophotography.
