Hi,

as I live in a very light polluted village and I have to hide my telecope behind a bush so the laterns don't shine in my telscope directly, I can't photograph Deepsky objects because even at 40h exposure time the image is very noisy. I know there are some light pollution filter out there but I thought about explore the night sky in scientific sense. I'm really curious about mesuaring the distance to some asteroids or calculate the size of exoplanets (wich is indeed possible!). I only have one problem: To calculate the distance to asteroids, I need several measuring points on earth to measure the parallax. So:
Are there any astrophotographers out there who can acchieve a sampling of about 0.4 to 0.8 "/px and who want to take part of this project? We also could do Deepfields. I've already tried a Deepfield and at this sampling, almost every corner in the night sky (except the milky way region) has some galaxy in it. So, what do you say?

Kind regards, 
Sternwarte Orion

There  is nothing unscientific about using filters, just the opposite in fact.

Hi,
I know but I wanted to measure the distance to some asteroids to calculate the path that it follows. Maybe we could discover new asteroids and comets and predict were they are in a few weeks or even months.

Cheers,
