This week I propose you some content under a different form: instead of a new article, I have just finished to write a small practical guide “10 steps to get successful planetary images”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a synthetic writing of my personal approach to planetary imaging. Often it is described only from a technical point of view (how to get the videos, how to process them with a software….) or under the concept of high resolution. But while all those tips are essential from my point of view they do not cover all the steps.<\/p>\n

The 10 steps, all accompanied by practical advices, are the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Learn about the planets you want to image<\/li>\n
  2. Watch images – a lot, and frequently<\/li>\n
  3. Forecast good nights for your site<\/li>\n
  4. Collimate your telescope. Before each session<\/li>\n
  5. Look in the eyepiece!<\/li>\n
  6. Choose your equipment following your projects<\/li>\n
  7. Find the adequate sampling<\/li>\n
  8. Find focus<\/li>\n
  9. Learn how to set your camera<\/li>\n
  10. Find landmarks for the processing of your images<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can download the guide with your e-mail on the subscribing form at right. I send e-mails only to help you improve your own images – this is not a regular newsletter, but I want to be able to ask questions directly to the readers of my blog to know about their needs in planetary imaging.<\/p>\n

    Once you have read the guide, I would be sincerely curious of your opinion, positive or negative.<\/strong> Do not hesitate to drop a comment below or to use the contact form at bottom right if you prefer ;)<\/p>\n

    Have a nice reading!<\/p>\n
