Customized Imaging Packages
Meet our Customized Imaging Packages—curated, ready-to-run astrophotography kits that take the guesswork out of building a deep-sky rig. Each bundle pairs a proven equatorial or harmonic mount with premium Starfield optics, guiding, power, and smart upgrade options. Just add your camera and start capturing galaxies, nebulae, and clusters from the backyard or dark sky sites.
Why these bundles work
-
Dialed-in pairings: Thoughtfully matched mounts and telescopes for stability, tracking accuracy, and sharp stars. Options include the Sky-Watcher AL-EQ55i and the ultra-portable ZWO AM3N harmonic mount for travel-friendly performance.
-
Sharp, flat fields: Choose between Starfield Gear60Q Petzval (60mm, f/5) for wide-field imaging, the ED80 f/7 doublet for versatile performance, or a fast f/4 Imaging Newtonian when speed matters.
-
Guiding & essentials included: Packages include guider solutions (with ASI120MM-Mini on select kits), power, and robust tripods (like the ZWO TC40 on AM3N combos) so you’re set from night one.
-
Smart upgrades: Add ZWO ASIAIR Plus for plate solving, autofocus control, and app-based capture; select a camera like ASI585MC or ASI2600MC Pro on compatible kits.
