deep sky imaging

Deep sky imaging is a technique used by astronomers to capture detailed photos of objects beyond our solar system, like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. It involves using specialized cameras connected to telescopes to collect light over long periods, often hours or more. This extended exposure allows faint and distant objects to appear clearly, revealing intricate structures and colors that are invisible to the naked eye. The process often includes taking multiple images, which are then combined and processed to enhance detail and reduce noise, resulting in stunning, detailed images of the universe.
