Feel the Billionaire Lifestyle: Adjusted Price Simulator Based on Your Net Worth (billionaire-simulator-obbp.vercel.app)

I've been documenting the rapid evolution of smart telescopes with reference sensors and quadruplet optics. These devices are making deep space imaging accessible to beginners while offering enough quality to satisfy experienced astrophotographers. I've compiled my findings and sample images at astroimagery.com.

That's amazing! It's great to hear about happy astrophotographers at all levels. I went a bit further in some years ago and am now contemplating an upgrade but waiting from some funds lol. Currently with a Celestron 130mm slt scope and EQ mount with ZWO ASI533 MCPRO I am getting the kind of images I have wanted all along. It's an awesome hobby. Check out some of my better images here: https://astroimagery.com/astrophotography-deep-sky-images/

I bought the dwarf 3 and during the winter had a run of insomnia so I took quite a few good deep space pictures with it. ~4 hours per mainly galaxies.

Prior to this I only ever had a plantetary dobosonian. ~4" saturn and jupiter were ok, mars not realistic.

I had of course considered building a typical apo refractor and the zwo camera and asiair. Just never went there. Smart telescopes are awesome. I need to spend about $100 to get EQ mode working for my dwarf but even without it, it's great.
