Tip 1- If you are taking a picture of the moon, R-Cop is a good telescope on the U filter for 0.1 seconds.
Tip 2- If you want you a better chance of an image being taken quickly, choose a telescope that is in the night at the time you are requesting.
Tip 3- Check the galleries and collaboration observations on Skynet to see what telescopes work best.
Tip 4- If you are in the USA in the daytime, R-Cop images might come back fast for you.
Tip 5- Check what is in the sky for the telescope you are looking for so you can get a result faster.
Tip 6-Using Filters
Astronomers often look at objects in space through filters of different colors. Astronomical filters, which are usually made of glass, block some of the colors or wavelengths of light and lets others through. This is useful to astronomers who want to understand properties of cosmic objects. Although this changes how the objects look, it helps them sort out details in the structure and composition of the objects they are looking at.
Two important types of filters are wide-band filters and narrow-band filters. Narrow-band filters, as their name suggests, only allow a small range of wavelengths of light to pass through. They are often used to study light that is emitted by specific elements, such as hydrogen or oxygen. Wide-band filters, on the other hand, isolate a large range of wavelengths of light. In the area of the spectrum near visible light, the most commonly used set of wide-band filters go by the names U, B, V, R, and I.
