Abstract
Advanced astro imaging is the next step for the burgeoning amateur astronomer and typically involves the use of commercially made, thermo electrically cooled cameras for deep space imaging and industrial machine vision cameras for planetary and solar imaging. But even in this rarefied space, there is room for the builder to make equipment that augments and even forms the basis of his imaging train. All it takes is a little imagination, keeping current with internet discussion threads, and the power of a well written email.
