Recommendations for your start in imaging on the Mac
There’s a few things that need to be covered here as a starting point. I make some assumptions that you’re familiar with Astronomy, possibly already have a first telescope, and are ready to start taking some images. First you have to make a decision as to whether you want to take photos of the planets and Moon, or if you want to take photos of nebula, star clusters, or galaxies. Basically, the decision between planetary, or deep space objects. These things are not exclusive to each other, and can be done with the same telescope but the results might not be optimal for each choice. Your telescope is probably suited to one or the other. (Edit: If you’re just getting into the hobby, have a look at this article on 5 things to consider if you’re interested in astrophotography.)Planetary imaging on the Mac
Planetary is fairly straight forward. Large aperture scopes like 6’ and above are great for this, and you don’t need to have an equatorial mount. Any Alt/Az (Altitude Azimuth) mount will work. A high speed web cam or astro camera and Mac laptop are the only additional entry level hardware requirements. Since most planets are relatively small, the larger the scope, the closer/larger they will look, and the more detail you can get out of your images.
Recommended starting software for planetary imaging:
*
OACapture - for taking pictures or videos: free
*
SiriL - for stacking planetary images: free
Endnote x8 mac download. EndNote Downloads. Update your current verison of EndNote, write and cite in the right styles, and import references directly into EndNote. Choose from 7,000+ styles to generate perfectly formatted EndNote references, from APA to Zygote. Add output styles.
*
PixInsight - for processing your planetary images to get the most detail out of them: $230 EUR
Unfortunately planetary processing software is a gap right now on the Mac. You need wavelet processing to get the most detail out of your images, and currently PixInsight is the only real option. There are two other apps that might run on older hardware and operating systems (Lynkeos and Keiths Image stacker), but they’re not developed any longer, and crash often on modern hardware. They are however, free applications.
For more advanced options, you might switch out Planetary Imager for FireCapture.

Introduction Astronomy Software is a pretty broad spectrum, providing everything from simple mapping software (relative positions of the solar system), through detailed observation planning software to first-person planetarium software. I looked at several free astronomy programs for producing sky maps and didn’t pick a best as I couldn’t decide among the three contenders for the top spot. Free Versions: No tech support or updates available. Beginner: Lets you look at the sky from earth, hides many parameter functions such as observing from other planets. Backyard: Lets you control most basic functions of planetarium software such as location, adding new objects to the database, and increases the number of visible objects. A free, open-source software called Stellarium is probably a good place to start. Another free planetarium software is Celestia. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. This software not only shows you the sky from Earth, but also allows you to ’fly’ to other locations and view the sky from there.Deep sky object imaging on the Mac
DSO imaging requires a little more effort. Because this type of imaging focuses on long exposure shots, where tracking your object across the sky accurately is a requirement, you’ll need a German Equatorial Mount (GEM). These deep sky objects can vary greatly in size, with a large number of them being bigger than earth’s moon in the night sky. Because of this, a large scope isn’t a requirement to get started. In fact, it’s preferable to start with a smaller scope, like an 80mm refractor. The reason for this is that the larger your scope, the more accurate your tracking needs to be, the better your mount needs to be to handle the weight and accuracy. The difficulty (and cost) goes up exponentially with larger telescopes. So start small. All of the telescopes I use are relatively small (under 6’ in size), and all fit on my entry level GEM mount, the Advanced VX by Celestron.
Additional requirements are going to be a guiding camera and guide scope. This is essentially a small telescope mounted on top of your main scope, with a guide camera. This camera’s job is to watch the star movement, and send corrections to your GEM mount when the mount isn’t moving accurately. For entry level equipment, this is a necessity, as these mounts are far from accurate for long exposure imaging.
You’ll also need a main imaging camera, and your options vary widely here. You have the option of using a DSLR (maybe you have one already in your possession), or a dedicated astrophotography camera that can do color or mono. Mono is a black and white camera, that when combined with color filters, can achieve a higher fidelity color image than a regular color camera can but with more effort and expense.
