Astrophotography

I captured this image of NGC 281 with my S50 using 948 10s exposures. I stacked in Siril and processed in Siril, GraXpert, Cosmic Clarity, and GIMP. It's not perfect, but I'm still very much an amateur.

Stacked a 4 minute video last night, which came out very nice IMO

My second (and first successful) try of the orion nebula. Any advice for editing out the noise and these stripes? What are these?

Captured using a Nikon D5300 and s 140mm lens

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!

Took a 8min exposure with my Nikon D800 and my 50mm f/1.4 by night.

On our journey to shot the best images we can with our non ideal setup we collected more data on the heart nebula. Main problem with our setup is the distance of the sensor which is not perfect and results in bad star shapes in the corners. Stepping down to 2.8 and using BXT helps a lot. Combined with old data we gathered a total exposure time of 14 hours.

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

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

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

Shot with Vaonis Vespera II smart scope. 30 minutes of observation.
