Decisamente un brutta foto, ne sono consapevole...scentrata, poca nebulosità, artefatti intorno alle stelle e chi più ne ha più ne metta!

Resto comunque dell'impressione che il mio maggior problema sia (oltre all'inquinamento luminoso) l'elaborazione al pc! Se qualcuno vuole gli posso passare il TIFF originale e elaborarlo, così, giusto per vedere quanto sengnale mi mangio...

 

Ho deciso di pubblicarla perchè ho fatto una fatica bestia per farla...ma, ahimè, non è un gran risultato!

Here’s my last image from Thursday night’s Danville trip. The wind had picked up more and the clouds started coming through so I had to limit this one to only 30 minutes. I had to meridian flip in the middle and I was surprised to see that DeepSkyStacker was able to align them without issues. I was also surprised to easily pick up the horsehead with my stock Canon in exposures as short as 60 seconds.

This image of the Ring Nebula (M57) has been made from some shots that I took during the small hours of today. DeepSkyStacker used to stack the best 80% (108 frames used). The shots were captured with Backyard EOS using a Canon 60D mounted onto a Skywatcher 200 reflector.

Minha primeira captura da Galáxia do Triângulo (M33). É uma de nossas galáxias vizinhas, sendo grande e brilhante no céu, localizada relativamente próxima a Andrômeda. O enquadramento não foi dos melhores e nem a guiagem, porém ainda sim gostei bastante da captura. A captura foi feita a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem filtros.

 

My first capture of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). It's one of our neighbour galaxies and is big and bright in the night sky, being located next to the Andromeda galaxy.

Messier 17, também conhecida como Nebulosa Ômega ou Nebulosa do Cisne, é uma das maiores regiões de formação de estrelas na nossa galáxia Via Láctea.

 

A Nebulosa Ômega foi descoberta em 1745 pelo astrônomo Suíço Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux. Está localizada a 5.500 anos-luz da Terra na constelação do Sagitário. A nebulosa tem uma magnitude aparente de 6 e pode ser vista com binóculos.

The final 3 of the 8 subs were taken last night, the first clear night in two weeks and probably my last deep sky imaging session for a while - the Moon is waxing now and I'm away around the next New Moon (Poor planning!).

The planet Saturn and its two moons, Titan (lower left) and Iapetus (upper right, farther away). This is just a test shot and it turned out overexposed, but the ring can still be (faintly) seen on its lower left and upper right corners. The spot very close to Saturn's upper right corner may be the superposition of Dione and Rhea.
