Shooting in RAW format is generally recommended for astrophotography, as it preserves the maximum amount of image data and provides greater flexibility during post-processing. RAW files contain uncompressed sensor data, allowing for more extensive adjustments to exposure, white balance, and other parameters without significant loss of quality. While JPEG files are more compact, they offer limited editing capabilities and may result in lossy compression artifacts.
