Guides to DSLR Astrophotography


Canon Rebel XSi Peltier Cooler Modification - This shows a modification I just finished to my DSLR to help reduce noise in long exposure astrophotography by cooling the camera's sensor down.
I am working on a guide to DSLR astrophotography that I will have up soon. The following links you will find very helpful.
-Cloudy Nights DSLR Imaging Forum
A DSLR imaging forum with some very friendly people.
-Deep Sky Stacker, Guide to Better Images
A handy guide that explains why you shoot multiple lights, darks, and flats. Also, what they are 0.o
-Gary Honis
Gary Honis is the man when it comes to astrophotography modifications. I have used his guides to modify my Canon Rebel XSi, Quickcam Pro 9000, and to build a Peltier Cooler Box for my DSLR.
-Ivan Eder's Astrophotography
This guys DSLR images will blow your mind! Next best thing to the Hubble.
