Mission
Demystify deep‑sky imaging—from backyard star trackers to full EQ rigs—so more people can reliably capture the night sky.

Who We Are
Reviewers, testers, and ops folks who have worked in different roles inside the StrongMocha News Group. We’re gear‑neutral and results‑driven.

How We Help Readers

  • Explain imaging scale, FOV, and framing without the math headache.
  • Share polar alignment and guiding workflows you can repeat.
  • Map sensors and optics (backfocus, reducers, flatteners) that actually work.
  • Provide filter strategies for Bortle 1–9 and moon phases.
  • Offer processing fundamentals: calibration frames, gradient removal, color.

What We Publish

  • Imaging basics and polar alignment methods.
  • Guiding & tracking, PEC, and backlash management.
  • Optics & sensors, spacing, and tilt diagnosis.
  • Filters & light‑pollution strategies.
  • Power, dew control, planning, and data processing.

How We Work

  • We mix field tests with controlled experiments and log settings.
  • If you purchase through our links, we may earn a commission; editorial picks remain independent.
  • We keep guides current as sensors, optics, and firmware improve.

Tools & Resources

  • Imaging Scale & FOV Calculator.
  • Mount Payload & Balance Planner.
  • Exposure Length & SNR Estimator.
