Why we just can't get enough of astrophotos
Astrophotos have something magical about them. They show the universe as we can never see it with the naked eye.
Where the night sky from Earth is already impressive, space photographs reveal what remains hidden to the naked eye: nebulae in red and blue, galaxies with spiral arms, planets with cloud bands or rings of ice. Each shot is a glimpse into another world.

What can you capture with a telescope?
With a good telescope - smart or manual - you can capture the following, among other things:
✓ The Moon with craters
✓ Jupiter and its four largest moons
✓ The rings of Saturn
✓ Deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda
✓ Star clusters such as the Pleiades
Even compact models such as the DWARF 3, Vespera Pro, Vespera II or Seestar S50/S30 deliver impressive results.
From photo to experience
At telescope.com, space photography is not just about technique. It is about the moment: capturing a nebula that is millions of years old, or bringing a planet into sharp focus. That's what makes it special. We are happy to help you get started - with advice, manuals and the right equipment.

Were these pictures really taken with your telescopes?
Most of the space photos on this page were taken with smart telescopes from our range. They have been shared by customers, users or ambassadors through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or directly with us. Some images were taken with models we offered temporarily. Sometimes post-processing has been applied, such as stacking or color correction. If an image has not been edited, we include that.
