Not only massive space telescopes enable spectacular images. Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley considers IDS's uEye XCP camera, equipped with Sony Starvis 2 sensors, an excellent choice for capturing high-resolution images of our neighboring planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Astrophotography faces unique challenges in two respects: both technical and natural. This is particularly true for telescope imaging of planets. On the one hand, Earth's atmosphere is constantly in motion, creating turbulence that causes distortions in the light coming from stars or planets. This phenomenon, known as "seeing," leads to flickering or blurring of objects, especially when observed through ground-based telescopes. These blurriness and distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence make it difficult to capture detailed images.
