Buying Your First Astrophotography Setup? Start Here… kind of

I often wonder if anybody in astronomy forums has had to struggle to figure out how to pay kids’ school fees and the mortgage in the same month, or forgo that pizza order to put gas in the car.

Perfectly clear tonight, but I’m feeling this more than imaging.

Reworking some data while acquiring for other projects. I think this is about 16 hours on the Elephant's Trunk.

Some starless space stuff. American and part of the Pelican nebula. The colors are jacked to show depth.

Not feeling the whole copy and paste from Wikipedia vibe, so here's some pretty space shit from a couple thousand lightyears away.

This one is a little goofy, but I'm sick of trying to process out noise and gradients, so here you go - Eagle and Omega in one. It's about 6 hours worth of data, shot over the wonderful city lights of Chicago!

About the Site

Katorella is a mashup of my daughters names that I had originally made up for a bike that I never built. They adopted the name, but I stole it back for my astronomy endeavors.

I’ve been casually into Astronomy for decades, but more recently I’ve taken a serious interest. I’ve been really imaging since 2017 from just outside Chicago, which creates challenge after challenge. I want to prove that you can do this from anywhere without spending your whole life’s savings.

I believe that anyone who wants to make their own art from hidden treasures in the sky should be able to go for it!
