Double amas de Persée (NGC 869 et NGC 884)
Le double amas de Persée est constitué de deux amas ouverts issus d'un même nuage de gaz. Ils regroupent de nombreuses étoiles encore jeunes, nées il y a une dizaine de millions d'années. La plupart de ces étoiles sont des "supergéantes". Ce sont des étoiles très chaudes et beaucoup plus lumineuses que le Soleil.

Capturing the Orion Nebula well is difficult. The high dynamic range means that it is easy to either lose the dim details or blow out the bright regions. This was my first attempt at combining two different exposures to preserve more details. The first image is a combination of 300s exposures for the faint details and 5s exposures for the details in the bright core.
The Orion Nebula is about 1350 ly away from us and one of the few nebulae that are easily visible with the naked eye during good sky conditions.

M77 Region - 7 Hours of integration in the backyard under mixed skies - mostly with the waxing moon nearby. Humidity was high, dew was everywhere.
First night used the Baader Moon and Skyglow filter. Two other nights used the IDAS LPR filter. Sky background is a muddy brown because of the nearby sodium lights.
Total subs used: 42 at 10 minutes at 400 ISO.
Calibrated with Maxim DL with master files based on 256 bias and 35 flats with temperature matched darks. I'd report the exact number of darks used, but I calibrated at different times and didn't keep notes. Suffice to say it's more than 50.
Stacked in DSS 3.3.3 beta 47. I've noticed that when stacking in other than mosiac mode, DSS tends to enhance the gradients significantly. Because there were framing issues from the successive nights, there is only a small section of the mosaic that is good. Still, it's interesting to see what galaxies popped out of the background.
Processed in PI: cropped, DBE, masked stretch script, scnr, mask made of the L channel and stretched, this mask was used repeatedly as a positive and negative for: ATrous, Deconvolution, curves (for saturation), and histogram stretch.
Once I exported this, I did not modify it in LR3. I'm happy enough with how it looks.
I think I finally understand how to use Atrous a bit more. An important thing to do was apply it on the Chrominance and Lumincance separately and avoid applying it to RGB.
I've also done some reading in Berry & Burnell's Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing regarding using deconvolution. Thus, I was better able to understand how some of the settings work there.
I'm still ham-fisted, but it's coming along.
NGC 6888 as seen at the Golden State Star Party.
Taken with the modified Pentax K10D camera on the Stellarvue SV4. Baader Moon and Skyglow filter used.
This is a stack of 58 lights of 10 minutes duration at 400 ISO - best 80% out of 75. A ton of temperature matched darks were used - about 15 or more for each temperature. I found that there were problems with stacking the full frames because of non-optimal centering left uncontrolled or over controlled amp glow at the edges. Removed this issue by doing a custom rectangle and a 2x drizzle.
Rest of the processing in PI was easy - masked stretch and then histogram stretch. Not much else needed. I couldn't get the image solver to work on this image.
I'll be going to RBA's PI workshop on Sunday and maybe I'll learn something.
I've loved this region ever since I first saw it - it looks just like a butterfly!

Попался фильм, как клип, сначала даже не понял что это (потом впрочем тоже), но стало интересно — так я случайно посмотрел «Кровь машин» (Blood Machines), музыка тоже показалось знакомой и это оказался Carpenter Brut.
Franck Hueso (Франк Уэзо) назвался Carpenter Brut в честь Джона «Нечто» Карпентера и шампанского Charpentier Brut, видео для него делает 'Сет Икерман' (Seth Ickerman), это дуэт режиссеров Рафаэля Эрнандеса (Raphaël Hernandez) и Савитри Джоли Гонфарда (Savitri Joly-Gonfard) — в 2016 они сваяли клип на хит Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer, который набрал 14 млн просмотров, и на волне его популярности решили снять продолжение, так появилась «Blood Machines», деньги на кино они собирали через Kickstarter, т.е. клип стал основой для diy sci-fi фильма, класс!
Правда жаль, что он всего 50 мин (авторы рассчитывали вообще на 30, но собранных денег хватило почти на час, на сценариста уже не хватило и наверняка кому-то может показатся что это полный сюр), с другой стороны, получилась пилотная серия прохладного sci-fi сериала (будущего), где сюжет яляется лишь фоном для картинки, а визуал сделан в лучших неоновых традициях 80-х, по заветам культовых LEXX и Blade Runner — спасаясь от военного космического корабля, небольшой звездолёт с искусственным интеллектом по имени Мима терпит крушение на неисследованной планете, где его обнаруживают женщины загадочного племени (владеющие телепатией и телекинезом), но восстановить умирающий корабль им не даёт банда грабителей...
В ролях:
Elisa Lasowski as Corey (a priestess)
Anders Heinrichsen as Vascan (spaceship captain)
Christian Erickson as Lago (spaceship mechanic)
Joëlle Berckmans as Mima (a ghost)
Noémie Stevens as Tracy
Joëlle и Noémie сыграли и в клипе «Turbo Killer», на основе которого снимали этот мини-фильм, саундтреком к фильму стал второй альбом Carpenter Brut.
Ранние треки Hueso (Le perv, 2012 и Roller Mobster, 2013) попали в популярную игру Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number (2015) после чего он и стал известен, тогда же вышла его третья епишка — III (2015), с хитом Turbo Killer, и в 2016 появился знаменитый клип
Мода на synthwave, благодаря Chromatics, Miami Night 1984 и остальным, была в самом разгаре, но он ушёл немного в сторону, провалившись в дебри darksynth / horror synth, исследовать которые чуть раньше начал другой француз — Perturbator, он же James Kent — смотри не перепутай!
Perturbator я видел в СПб в 2016 (www.flickr.com/photos/deepskyobject/30777096655) и на фесте Roadburn 2017 (www.flickr.com/photos/deepskyobject/albums/72157676706213765) в Голландии, его мать, кстати, была вокалисткой французской new wave группы Radio Romance, а отец — британский журналист.
Интересно, что Carpenter Brut параллельно продюсирует французскую блэк-метал группу Deathspell Omega, которая сохраняет анонимность.
Помню его забойные концерты в СПб — Carpenter Brut @ St Petersburg, Russia (2015-2016).

Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC6992), 07/06/2020
Spent the night dodging clouds and I was able to grabs this image in the hour or so of clear skies. This is another part of the same super nova remnant I shot a couple of weeks ago. I had much better data to play with but spent way too much time processing it until I was happy with the results. Happy Astrophotographer is happy.

This is a somewhat noisy shot of the center of our galaxy. (It was a really warm night, which generates noise when taking long exposures) No telescope was used for this one. It contains many deep sky objects. There are more than I listed, but too dim to see clearly. Throughout the summer I'm going to image all of them, and insert close-ups of each one. :)

ALTAIR: Altair belongs among the brightest stars in the night sky. It's a part of the constellation Aquila and it's one of the three stars which are creating the Summer Triangle... This picture I took in July from Bortle class 3 in the Šumava National Park in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, the conditions were bad and the clouds were coming up. But fortunately in this case the clouds are very profitable, because the light is diffusing on them, and the stars are more glowing, bigger, and brighter. And it does the picture nicer.
ALTAIR: Altair patří mezi nejjasnější hvězdy noční oblohy. Nachází se v souhvězdí Orla a je to jedna ze tři hvězd, které tvoří Letní trojúhelník... Tuto fotografii jsem pořídil v červenci z Bortleho třídy 3 v Národním Parku Šumava v České republice. Podmínky bohužel nepřály a mraky se blížily. V tomto případě jsou ale mraky naštěstí přínosné, protože se na nich pěkně rozptyluje světlo, a hvězdy tak vypadají zářivější, větší a jasnější. A to dělá fotku hezčí.

The Flame and Horsehead Nebula regions after an additional night's worth of data. This incorporates a lot of recent learning.
Recalibrated the earlier data set and added a bunch more lights from Nov 26. Total stack is 31 lights for 5 hours of integration.
There was a big dust mote that appeared to move during flat generation, so these are flawed. Also, there's a big flare. I want to learn how to handle these kinds of corrections earlier in the process so that I don't have as much of a challenge to fix them later.
When I saw the STF after DBE, I could see a lot of dust extending all the way to the edge of the view. However, there was a lot of noise!
I've tried some different ways of handling ACDNR to try to bring it under control. I may have used too heavy of a hand. I may come back to this data set again.

Taken at Calstar 2012 on the nights of September 13 and 14 while I was waiting for other targets to rise.
Heavily cropped due to poor framing. I would have liked to include more of the original mosiac, but the amp glow on the edge makes it difficult to smooth out these errors.
Stack of 21 subs of 10 minutes at 400 ISO using the cooled, full-spectrum Pentax K10D on the Stellarvue SV4 telescope at prime focus. Temperature range varied from 24-29C so I had to match darks with groups according to temperature. 100 total darks used to correspond to the range.
Stacking done with DSS 3.3.3 beta 47. PI 1.7 used to crop, annotate, apply DBE, masked stretch, and some NR. Final step in LR3.
I probably will return to this data set to see if I can reduce the size of the stars. There was some trailing caused by PEC and poor polar alignment.
