Deep-sky astrophotography from 63° North in Sweden. I’m Mårten — I help you master the hardware and software sides of astrophotography, from building a fully automated home observatory to advanced processing in PixInsight and automation with N.I.N.A.
On Frosth Astrophotography you'll learn how to turn patience and technical precision into art — whether you're just starting or pushing for that next level of detail.

The first video of a series of observatory upgrade videos, you don't want to miss out on this. It will be a mix of pure building/modification, product reviews, installation and configuration and, hopefully first light and images later on.

High winds and heavy snow today. Tomorrow I’ll show you how this journey began — and how I made it permanent.

Ever spent 2 hours imaging a pine tree instead of a nebula? 🌲😤
We have all been there. You plan a target, start the sequence, and wake up to find your telescope was pointing at the neighbor's roof half the night.
Living at 63° North, my darkness is too precious to waste on obstructions.
In today's video (dropping soon!):
I’ll show you how to use your telescope to map your EXACT local horizon and import it into N.I.N.A. and Stellarium. No more guessing. Bulletproof planning. 🔭
Question: What is the #1 enemy of your horizon line?
A) Trees 🌲
B) Buildings 🏠
C) Streetlights 💡
D) I'm lucky (100% clear sky)
