Welcome baaaack to The Astrocast! This week, Roo sits down w/James from Leviathan Optical to discuss the current state of Astrophotography, Filters for OSC Cameras, and of course, the Spectral Pro from Leviathan Optical. James is an incredibly talented and smart astrophotographer based in Dublin, Dr. James Murphy is an endlessly fascinating guy who I could talk to for 8 hours if I didn't have to make dinner with my wife occasionally.
I'm going to do my best to link to everything we discussed, but if I missed anything, please let me know!
