2 MAG 2019 · Galaxies and nebulae require long exposure times and need large amounts of images. This week I talk in detail about my workflow to make observe deep sky objects either with DSLRs and lenses or with more advanced tools such as telescopes and dedicated cameras. From the planning, to processing, I reveal all the steps and steps needed to get the final image that we were always wanting.

25 APR 2019 · The night sky in May bring us a lot of different options for both north and Southern hemispheres. In particular, this month we will be able to observe the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, the best meteor shower of 2019. It is also a fantastic month to photography deep sky objects in the are of the Milky Way and to photograph Jupiter in all its power. Learn on this episode the tricks to successfully photograph all these sources as well as other interest ones visible during this next month.
