Science in Astrophotography
If you have ever wondered why galaxies, nebulae, etc. have the shapes and colours that the all the astrophotos show. And if you have always wanted to venture into the world of astrophotography to photograph those objects yourself. Then, this is your podcast! Here we will talk, in a clear and easy way, about the science behind all those images taken with the big telescopes. This will helps us planning better our astrophotography sessions and get the maximum out of our astrophotography sessions. We will also talk about the equipment needed to enter the world of landscape and deep field astrophotography, processing techniques and workflows. Would you come with me to this amazing journey around the cosmos?
- 33 - The June night sky
June is here and with it new astronomical events and new night sky objects to photograph. This episode not covers the description of the main events and also it gives you some interesting facts about them from a scientific point of view. Don’t miss it!

Imagine that you are a detective who suddenly hears a gunshot. However, you can not walk to the area from which the noise came to see exactly what just happened, how would you solve the case? With this premise today I start talking about the process that we have been following to disclose and understand the physics of the super interesting gamma ray bursts. At the end of the episode I also solve some of the questions that you have sent me during this week.

This week’s episode is aimed at those who are interested in buying your first telescope or upgrading to a bigger one. I explain the pros and cons of each of the types of telescopes, their prices, their problems… And of course, I also mention the mounts that we need to be able to do astrophotography.
During the episode I mention some brands that I feel I can trust when choosing a telescope. These are: Skywatcher, Celestron, Meade, Orion, Vixen, Explore Scientific, William Optics, TS and Takahashi.

Galaxies and nebulae require long exposure times and need large amounts of images. This week I talk in detail about my workflow to make observe deep sky objects either with DSLRs and lenses or with more advanced tools such as telescopes and dedicated cameras. From the planning, to processing, I reveal all the steps and steps needed to get the final image that we were always wanting.

The effects of the atmosphere in astrophotography
If you have ever wondered why it is sometimes difficult to capture the Moon when it is close to the horizon or why some nights without clouds you get disappointing results compared to others, then this will be a very special episode for you. This week I talk about how the airmass or the seeing can affect our images. I also talk about the lucky imaging technique that help us counteract these effects and give us more sharper images of the moon and planets.

In astrophotography we always talk about travelling to dark skies, however not everyone has the opportunity to move away from the big cities. In those cases, it is important to know that we can still do astrophotography! All we have to do is modify our workflows and use different techniques. In this episode, I describe the different options of light pollution filters that we can use to help us doing astrophotography under bright city skies.

December came and with it one of the most awaited astronomical events of the year, the arrival of comet 46P/Wirtanen. It has been quite a while now since the last comet visible with the naked-eye and because of that, everyone is getting very excited about it. However, the images that we are already seeing are showing us a comet quite unusual, without its typical long tail and showing us a green colour. Why is the comet green? Where is its tail? In this episode, not only I will talk about how to photograph it, but I will talk about the science behind the way it looks.
