When it comes to astrophotography, capturing the night sky is only half the battle. It is not an exaggeration to say that the post-processing is often make or break in astrophotography. This is where your choice of monitor becomes as crucial as your telescope or camera. BenQ’s new PD2730S 27" 5K IPS Monitor promises to bring clarity to that search. With 5K resolution, Pantone validation, and BenQ’s proven AQCOLOR technology, it aims to serve both professional creatives and those of us who spend countless hours coaxing beauty out of the dark skies.

With their latest models of telescope, Askar 80ED, SharpStar have targeted a specific group of astrophotographers and astronomers which can place this product in a very attractive place: Beginners.

With a two-lens design (one ED, one standard), it reduces much of the chromatic error typical of simple doublets, while staying lighter and more affordable than full apochromats.

In a hobby where precision matters, measuring the sky’s brightness can be just as critical as polar alignment or camera gain settings. That’s where Unihedron’s Sky Quality Meter – LU (SQM-LU) comes into play. Designed to offer real-time readings of sky brightness, the SQM-LU provides astrophotographers and observatory owners with a reliable way to quantify sky conditions, every single night.

We all dream of finding the perfect telescope that strikes a balance between affordability, optical performance, and versatility. The Askar 103APO promises to be that dream telescope for every astrophotographer. But does it live up to the expectations?

As far as large refractor telescopes go, anything above the focal lengh of 900mm, TS-Optics 130 APO pushes the bounderies in various aspects.
