Observation Techniques Dataset

The craft of observing — the capture-to-image techniques added by the Professional Observation Techniques program (visual astronomy, astrophotography and its planetary/deep-sky/narrowband variants, autoguiding, calibration frames, image processing, drizzle, plate solving, and the imaging workflow) alongside the frontier lucky/speckle-imaging and image-stacking techniques already in the graph. Only well-established practice; nothing fabricated.
