The equipment to capture standard photographic images is designed to capture primarily daytime settings that require shorter focal lengths and exposure times. However, imagine the technology to photograph images of Nebulae, Galaxies, Star Clusters and other deep sky objects!

The niche market of astrocameras calibrates a camera for precise focus at all focal lengths with special attention to infinity focus. It also can be designed with heat transfer/cooling system in the digital camera. According to Spencer’s Cameras & Photos; “...drawing heat from the imaging sensor which reduces digital noise effects due to long exposures.”.

And, what if you decided to turn the camera lens homeward from heavenly bodies to spaceship Earth? What images would result when you unleash the equivalent of 1250-megapgixel + imagery (gigapixel technology) to landscape photography?

The Gigapxl Project is one group defining the upper limits of this large-format film photography, digital scanning and image processing, custom-built Gigapxl&trade cameras capture images with unprecedented resolution. Here is our Digital Directions Friday Video featuring another...
