Proudy's Astrophotography with the GSTAR CCD Camera
unguided video astrophotography
Welcome
G'Day, I'm Proudy from Perth, Western Australia. I bought my first telescope in 2006 and started astrophotography in 2008. Nearly all the images were taken with a 10" Newtonian reflector using the GSTAR B&W and Colour video cameras. I feel that my images are improving all the time.

Video astrophotography is really easy and fun. Accurate polar alignment is not necessary and you can sit inside and watch TV while capturing the video.....NO STRESS! If you are interested in a GSTAR camera then you can buy them here from Steve Massey mentioned below.

Be sure to check these sites out to see what the GSTAR can do in the hands of image capture and processing experts:
