NO TELESCOPE REQUIRED! In this 50-minute tutorial I walk through a complete astrophotography processing of Rho Ophiuchi data from Telescope Live's One-Click Observations (). I talk about the basics of using Telescope Live to schedule basic remote telescope observations with their robotic telescopes and then I jump into processing the raw FITS files from Telescope Live in the free and open-source astrophotography processing program Siril () before bringing the Luminance and RGB images into Adobe Photoshop for final edits.
