The imaging systems
There is no single camera behind YaNoAstro. Each rig has its own field of view and purpose; together they cover deep-sky imaging and continuous sky monitoring.
Deep-sky imaging · Primary rig
A fast, wide field for nebulae and larger structures.
The primary wide-field imaging configuration currently documented on Dirk's AstroBin profile.
Deep-sky imaging
More reach for compact galaxies and detailed targets.
A proven configuration behind published M33 and Horsehead Nebula projects.
Sky monitoring
One dedicated camera watching the complete sky.
An autonomous indi-allsky system, separate from the deep-sky imaging rigs and published through its own service.
Wide-field astrograph used for deep-sky imaging.
Long-focal-length optical system used for smaller deep-sky targets.
Equatorial tracking mount for long-exposure imaging.
Cooled colour astronomy camera used on the deep-sky imaging rigs.
Dedicated sensor in the autonomous AllSky camera.
Ultra-wide lens covering the sky-monitoring field of view.
