The Lion Nebula
My latest image from the backyard is the dynamic-looking 'Lion Nebula' in the constellation Cepheus. (I love the colors in this one)
This image includes exactly 7 hours of total exposure time (84 x 300s) using the little RedCat 51 telescope with a color camera and light pollution filter attached.
The Optolong L-eXtreme filter has officially become my most used filter of all time - and it consistently provides me with useful data from my Bortle 6 backyard.
Dual-narrowband filters have really made astrophotography from the city a lot more obtainable.
Camera: bit.ly/3YXbE3u
Telescope: bit.ly/3M6fiAK
Filter: bit.ly/3SxH7Gl
Mount: bit.ly/4csp0bn
Image Processing:
The latest edition of the guide (V3.0) teaches my latest processing techniques using PixInsight and Photoshop. It also includes a new video tutorial outlining my process of star separation, gradient removal, and putting it all back together!
