Thanks! I have to drive for an hour to get to a bortle 4 to shoot most targets I have in mind, about a week every month with no moon, one night only on any given week due to work schedule and the weather has to be good as well... Which I'm sure is a struggle everyone in here is familiar with :p

This target in particular will be unavailable in the summer months when the weather is always nice, so I'll try to give it another go in a few days and see what happens.

I'll post a side by side comparison to hopefully highlight some improvement!

I could probably get away with a bit more saturation on the colors, it's already pretty noisy so I might as well

 

My first time trying to shoot the Horse Head nebula! I have a stock Sony a6000, which cuts out most of the hydrogen red signal, but thankfully enough got through to at least make this a solid attempt.

The data is about 45 minutes worth of 30 second exposures out of my Sony and a Ttartisan 500mm f6.3 lens, on a star tracker.

Due to the very limited total integration time and the stock camera I had to stretch pretty far while fending off artifacts here and there.

Overall I'll take it, will revisit in the future.

Feedback appreciated!

Because the elected racist, apartheid loving fuck gave him the power. Money buys politicians, politicians make the rich even more so.

It's a big party and we're not invited

And yet if elections were to be held today the people responsible for this would easily hold office.

In fact, the minister responsible for this resigned at the time, then ran at the elections a few weeks later and was elected again by the people of the city with the most dead kids in this accident.

Someone's about to apply The Formula. ABC= X

 

My 5th time trying to image a seemingly easy target with something being off... This time I must have nudged the lens out of focus slightly and there was some dew forming on the lens that I hadn't noticed. This hobby sure has a steep learning curve!

Still, decided to not throw away the whole attempt and did a quick processing. It's about 45 minutes worth of 30 sec exposures at 500mm f6.3.

Feedback appreciated!

 

63 x30 sec tracked, 10 of each calibration frames. Stock Sony A6000, ISO 1600. 500mm f8 ish with a ttartisan lens.

Feedback appreciated!

Those guys sure love banning things. They're gonna lose track of all the things they've banned, unless they hire someone to tally all their bans.

Unless of course there's a ban on that too

The vivo has amazing hardware as a base, Pixel is OK hardware but amazing software. It's a different approach but it does seem to work great

Bald Eagle for national bird, but honorary mention for the red-tailed hawk, which is the sound people mistakenly associate it with

That's where the (Na) comes from. Anything starting with Nit comes from Nitrogen (N)

 

73x30 sec of the Orion nebula, with a stock Sony a6000 and a ttartisan 500mm f6.3 on a StarAdventurer.

Lens was wide open, which introduced lots of aberrations on the brightest stars. Will try stopping down next time. Also, focus wasn't perfect and I had some dew issues.

No calibration frames, either, I was just testing the lens for the first time.

Stacked in Siril, stretched in photoshop, final touches in Lightroom.
