"Telescopes for Astrophotography and

How to Choose the Right One for YOU"

    

Featuring Nico Carver

 

Nico Carver has reviewed dozens of telescopes and helped hundreds of people choose a telescope for astrophotography. Through these experiences, Nico has picked up some practical tips on how to pick the right telescope for your budget and astrophotography style. There are many factors to consider, but in this presentation Nico will break down the most important factors with many real-world examples of how telescope choice impacts the kind of photos you can produce. 

Nico Carver is a dedicated astrophotographer and teacher. After discovering astrophotography in 2017, it quickly became an obsession. From 2019-2022 he worked at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics where he helped preserve the early history of astrophotography through Project PHaEDRA. Since 2023 he has committed himself full-time to astrophotography education. His primary mission is helping beginners get started with astrophotography through his detailed videos at youtube.com/nebulaphotos and associated community at patreon.com/nebulaphotos.
