Images-Amin-Patani


Amin Patani

Amin’s interest in astrophotography began with capturing the comet Neowise with a point and shoot camera! His setup has expanded to two scopes (73mm refractor and 8” Celestron Edge with Hyperstar), a couple of Astro cameras (ASI2600MM and ASI2600MC) with a number of narrowband and broadband filters. He uses tZWO AM5 mount and has an off-axis guider with ASI174 Mini guide camera. He has also imaged with different Canon lenses ranging from 40mm to 400mm. He uses both ASIAir computer for astroimaging and also a mini PC. He uses both mostly SiRiL for pre-processing of images and uses primarily Photoshop for post processing. His current challenge is to get proficient with long focal length imaging, using the mono camera setup and learn planetary photography.
