What can I photograph with STELLINA?

STELLINA is a wide-field astrograph designed primarily for deep-sky imaging. Its field of view is approximately 1° x 0.7°, which is slightly larger than the apparent size of the Sun or the Moon (both around 0.5°). This makes it ideal for capturing galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and comets.

However, STELLINA's ability to observe specific objects depends on their apparent size. While its catalog includes hundreds of celestial objects, not all stars or deep-sky targets are visible, as no telescope can observe everything.

  • Constellations cannot be photographed because they span a much larger area than STELLINA’s field of view. For wide-field shots of constellations, a DSLR camera is more suitable.
  • Planets appear very small in STELLINA’s field of view (e.g., Jupiter’s apparent size is around 0.01°). While you can capture Jupiter’s bands and Saturn’s rings, they will be displayed in small pixel sizes, making STELLINA better suited for deep-sky rather than planetary observation.
