Getting great results from your smart telescope
This guide came out of frustration: when I got my first smart telescope, I had no idea what to do with the files it produced. 91 pages later, you will.
What you’ll learn
No filler, no theory for its own sake. Each chapter answers a concrete question you’ll ask yourself during your first few sessions.
- 01Getting started : Understand what your smart telescope does, choose a good location (clear view, stable ground, sheltered from wind and light), learn ideal observation conditions.
- 02What does my telescope produce? : Raw files, FITS, automatic stacks: understand what you get and how to work with it.
- 03Capturing great images : The right settings, the right number of exposures, choosing targets to maximize your raw quality.
- 04Work environment : Install Siril, GraXpert and scripts in minutes, organize your files properly.
- 05Process in minutes : Stack, calibrate, remove gradients, stretch the histogram and export a share-ready image. Solve common issues.
- 06Going further : A few concepts to progress at your own pace, without drowning in technicalities.
- +Appendices & bonuses : Preparation checklist, processing workflow cheat sheet and summaries to keep handy.
