iOptron Photron 6" RC Telescope

The iOptron Photron 6” Ritchey-Chretien - The Little Scope That Could

Kevin Galka
Astrophotography has long been associated with remote, pristine dark-sky locations—deserts, mountaintops, and national parks where the stars shine unimpeded by urban glow. And while those locations undeniably offer the best conditions for capturing the cosmos, they’re not the only option. For many enthusiasts, the reality is far more grounded: imaging from a backyard in the suburbs, surrounded by porch lights, traffic, and the ever-present haze of light pollution. While suburban skies may not offer the velvet-black canvas of rural retreats, they still hold immense potential for capturing the cosmos—thanks to modern tools, clever techniques, and the unbeatable convenience of staying close to home.
