Windy City Astrophotography
Hi, welcome to my channel!
My name is Nick and I am an amateur astrophotographer in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
With this channel I take you along with me on my astrophotography journey, mostly from light-polluted skies! You'll be amazed at what's possible, and I'll show you how you can capture images like this for yourself.
I image primarily with a Celestron RASA 8 telescope equipped with a ZWO External Automatic Focuser. I have an ASI1600MM Pro camera attached to the ASIAir Pro. The setup sits on an iOptron CEM40 mount, guided through an Orion 60mm guidescope with helical focuser and the ASI290mm mini guide camera.
