M20 Triffid Nebula

This image was taken through my previous scope which was a Meade series 5000 triplet refractor, on my Skywatcher EQ8 Mount, this was a great scope. Taken with my SXVR H18 mono camera, it was Autoguided with an Altair Astro 80mm maxiguider with a Lodestar V1 CCD guide camera.

It consists of 30 x 3min exposures through each LRGB filter, 10 x 3min darks, and 20 flats, stacked and processed in the superb Astropixelprocessor software, and just finished off in Photoshop. The star spikes were added with software for effect.

6.10. Podyjska dark sky area

that evening I took a lot of risks and even though I threw away a lot of photos because of the clouds I fulfilled another dream Pleiades with clouds in interstellar space the photo is only over an hour of data to be exact 4440 seconds another more than an hour was spoiled by the clouds but still I am satisfied with the universe which is really not as dark place as people think.

I have to thank Martin for advice on how to process it as best and as honestly as possible even though we haven't met physically yet he really moved me a lot.

The night sky with its beauty and mystery has attracted me since ancient times, but when you just lie there, watch the stars above your head and your eyes gradually get used to the darkness you gradually see not only planes but also satellites, meteors and all that noise you are just amazed.

The universe doesn't have to rush anywhere. Seeing the peace even in the hustle and bustle helps a person but at the same time scares him how small he is compared to it.

Unfortunately, we also ruin this view with the light around us and that's why I'm glad I live where there are still relatively dark skies here and there.
