Amateur astronomers engage in many imaging techniques including film, DSLR, LRGB, and CCD astrophotography. Because CCD imagers are linear, image processing may be used to subtract away the effects of light pollution, which has increased the popularity of astrophotography in urban areas. Narrowband filters may also be used to minimize light ...

The first photograph of an astronomical object (the Moon ) was taken in 1839 [ 1 ] , but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar ...
TOPS Educational Guides: "Far Out Math," "Scale the Universe," and "Pi in the Sky" are a series of TOPS Learning Systems activity books which introduce students to the science and technology of Fermi while at the same time teaching them basic mathematics and astronomy concepts.
Monochrome astrophotography also requires a greater number of calibration frames. Calibration frames are used capture artefacts and dust on the image sensor and filter, and light gradients due to internal reflections in the optical train. These can then be removed from the final image.
