Welcome to the AstroGuy Podcast!, in this episode we’re focusing on one of the most essential topics in astrophotography—total integration time. Have you ever asked yourself why experienced astrophotographers spend hours—or even nights—on a single target? Well, we’ll break down exactly what integration time is, why it plays a vital role in your deep sky images, and how you can maximize your total exposure time for sharper, more detailed results. Whether you're a beginner in astrophotography or looking to take your imaging to the next level, this episode is packed with practical tips, clear explanations, and real-world advice to help you get the most out of every frame.

In the episode, we’ll cover topics such as:

• What is total integration time?

• Why longer exposures make a difference

• How to shoot across multiple nights

• Planning for moonlight and light pollution

• The importance of calibration frames (darks, flats, bias)

• Avoiding the trap of shooting too many targets in one night
