Premium telescopes and specialized cooled astronomy cameras are essential for capturing stunning astrophoto images of celestial objects. At the Paducah Skies Observatory, a telescope is mounted on a German equatorial mount, which allows it to move in sync with the Earth's rotation. To enhance the accuracy of guiding on specific objects, such as a nebula, a separate guidescope equipped with its own camera is placed on top of the telescope. This setup enables exposures of up to 10 minutes, perfect for creating breathtaking space photos.
