Yes! Clear Sky! Like every year 🙂 , again M33 Triangulum Galaxy. This time without color manipulation. Details And here the drizzled one. Same processing, other white balance, 2x drizzled:
Clear sky today 🙂 The ghosts of Cassiopeia… The star Navi (Gamma Cassiopeiae) is perfect for focusing (mag. 2.15)! Absolutely clear pattern visible. Details Drizzled 2x, reprocessed, resized to original resolution:
This is my second M31 Andromeda attempt at 400mm fl. Now focused with the Bahtinov mask, modified DSLR and more acquired lights compared to last year (2016: 130x90s, Now: 113x120s). Only 2 nights. It was the max I could reach due to the bad wheater… really bad this year 🙁 And I tried to process […]
Finally clear sky 🙂 And a new (for me) beautiful nebula region. 2021 reprocessed with slightly different/new processing steps. 2x drizzled, scaled down to original resolution. The old version is still available on AstroBin. Details Cropped, 2x drizzled, resized to fit original resolution:
My last few photographed objects are all located in Cygnus constellation. Just for fun I created an overview: Objects: 1 – Sh2-119 Diffuse Nebula 2 – NGC 7000 North America Nebula 3 – Sadr Region 4 – NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula 5 – Sh2-101 Tulip Nebula 6 – Sh2-114 Flying Dragon Nebula 7 – Cygnus Loop […]
Again a Sh-object. This time the diffuse nebula Sh2-119 next to the North America Nebula. Details
There are many interesting Sh2 objects. One more nice area in Cygnus: the Tulip Nebula with nice nebulosity around it. Details 2x drizzled:
I decided to spend one more night shoot the Flying Dragon Nebula. Combined now the image contains 3 hours of lights. The result is much better than before, but the nebula is still very very faint… the longer exposure reveals more details in the faint nebula from the great wings of the dragon. Anyway, it […]
OK, this one was really a challenge… first, it was very windy and a little bit cloudy. Second, I lost the guide star and therefore more than 1 hour was worthless (86 total acquired lights = 215minutes) … Actually I don’t know why… everything was fixed well. An acoustic alarm if the guide star is […]
The Wizard Nebula, for the first time with modified DSRL and drizzled 2x. The weather was not excellent… but I’m quite happy with the result. And finally the nights starts becoming longer again soon… Details
