What causes vignetting in telescope?
Vignetting is a reduction in image brightness at the edges of the field of view. There are two possible causes for this, the lens/mirror design or an obstruction in the light path.
What is piggyback astrophotography?
Piggyback photography is the easiest form of deep-sky astrophotography. It involves attaching your camera on your telescope and shooting through a camera lens while the scope tracks the stars.
Which telescope can see galaxies?
