There are free apps which can do this.

Interesting to read about. I guess it uses photo stacking, has astro tracking, etc.

These are a few that I've done from the outskirts of Baton Rouge, so not the greatest shooting conditions. Also just a smartphone held up to the eyepiece on a non-tracking Dobsonian (Zhumell Z8)

great images! Well done.

Thanks man! Obviously it's tough to image with the equipment I have. And the LA summer nights, the humidity makes it damn near impossible to get much before the mirror in the Z8 starts to build condensation

DAMN! I am going to be out of town that week and miss it.

At least you’re not obtuse.

Looks like they're out of business. How much would something like that cost? And when you're looking at things that magnified, isn't it constantly moving out of view?
That being said I just did some research and this bad boy looks like it might offer a good feature set.

Your telling me that the Milky Way and andromeda are going to collide?!? And we’re sitting here worrying about global warming? Seems like galactic collision is a bit more important. We’re already behind schedule and we only have 4 billion years to solve this. We have to increase the debt ceiling.

I have some bad news. It’s about your Sun.
