Imaging

The arrival of electronic imaging devices, CCD and CMOS sensors, has revolutionised astronomical imaging for the amateur and professional astronomer. The quality, range and power of equipment available to the amateur imager today is mind blowing. That revolution has also come at a staggering pace and film is now just a memory for us older generation! There has never been a better time to be an active imager.

Note: just as one telescope cannot do everything so one camera cannot do everything! I use DSLRs, a CCD camera and a webcam. Each has its own strengths and one is not necessarily "better" than the others.
