Since light-field imaging cameras are starting to become more in the world today, the question that arises is, “Could these cameras help advance the science when they are used in conjunction with telescopes and microscopes?” With their use in microscopy having been partially settled and no information about their use with telescopes, this experiment was setup to start the ascertainment of the use of light-field imaging cameras with telescopes. With the use of an older plenoptic camera, it was ascertained that a new light-field imaging camera might compare with the conventional digital camera of today.
