Telescope Live

Practice is everything
I have used TelescopeLive since January 2022 when I gave myself a gold membership as a birthday present. I have always been thrilled by the processing part of this hobby. 15 years ago I bought my first telescope and worked my way to understand the ins and outs of DLSR capturing of deep space images. However the days (nights!) of astrophoto imageing weather in Bortle 9 Stockholm (Sweden) are few. Clouds and the summer sky April through to September makes life difficult for a keen amateur astro photographer. I needed data, raw data, for processing and TelescopeLive became a good solution. My mount with a fixed pier, a cooled astrocam and a good telescope can capture locally but whilst waiting for clear skies I use TelescopeLive data. It's like playing piano, you must practice every day. The data that I download also has a higher quality than my images I capture here in Stockholm. For me the era of remote capturing has become a winning concept. I have been able to practice and improve my skills and the processing knowledge has surged upward very fast. This is a demanding hobby, lots of practice hours are required and thus a huge amount of raw material is key in order to keep the momentum. My downloads to date are in the order of 150GB, well spent internet resources. Keep up with the good work and lots of luck to you with the upgrades you are doing.
