FAQ about lunar and planetary astrophotography
1. What is the difference of lunar-planetary shooting from other types of astrophotography?
When shooting planets, use a short shutter speed (from 1 100 s to 1 s), a relative aperture from 1:20 to 1:40 and the addition of several thousand frames. The clearest frames are selected, therefore it is possible to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and minimize the influence of the earth’s atmosphere.
2. How does the planetary survey technique look like?
We get a video of the planet, crop and align it, then in a special program we select clear frames and stack them. We apply wavelets or deconvolution to the result of stacking – we restore the details and sharpness of image.

3. I want to try myself in a planetary photo. Where to begin?
To decide on the equipment – choosing telescope and a camera. Any telescope with high-quality optics and minimal aberrations in the center of the field of view will be suitable for shooting planets. You can get good shots with a small aperture (90-102 mm), but the recommended aperture is from 150 mm. If you already have a telescope – check whether it is in the black list.
The simplest photos of the planets can be obtained by capturing through the eyepiece of a telescope.
