Lake Sugema, Iowa

The three bright stars in the lower part are Antares (upper left), Saturn (upper right), and Mars (bottom).

 

35 files, each f/2.8, 44mm, 60s, ISO 1600

35x 1 min= Light frames (35 min exposure)

8x1 min Dark frames (not used in PS)

(DeepSkyStacker is not available on Mac. Used PS instead.)

 

Ioptron skytracker and Vello timer

Photoshop: Edit\Auto Align Layers (for registration), Convert to a Smart Object, Layer\Smart Objects\Stack Mode\Median (for noise reduction).

 

Will try 70-200mm to focus on Rho Ophiuchus cloud complex.

 

Some low level clouds obstructed the fine structures near the cloud complex.

Sh2-129 Flying Bat Nebula and Squid Nebula, Cepheus by Vladimir Machek

DESCRIPTION: I tested to capture Squid nebula - very fine blue object in the center - but unfortunately not successful. More data needed, maybe blue light pollution filter destroyed this object, maybe OIII filter is needed. “Artistic” processing via StarXTerminator.

 

OBJECT: Sh2-129 Flying Bat Nebula and Squid Nebula, Constellation Cepheus, apparent magnitude N/A, apparent dimension 150’.

 

CALIBRATION: RA 21h 10m, DEC 59°58’, FOV 4,18°x 2,82°, Field radius 2,5°, Pixel scale 3,92 arcsec/px, Orientation: Up is 90,9° E of N, Image size 3840 x 2560 px,

 

GEAR: Nikon Z7 Kolari Full Spectrum + Nikkor Z 500/5,6, Astronomic UV/IR/L2 Clip in filter, Rollei Astroklar light pollution filter, Dew heater strip, tracking mount iOptron CEM60EC - 3 star alignment, no auto guiding.

 

ACQUISITION: August 3, 2022, Struz, CZ, Subexposure 180s, f 5,6, ISO 1600, Interval 15 s, RAW-L, Lights 51x, Darks 20x, Bias 20x, Flats 20x, DarkFlats 10x. Total exposure time 153 min. Night, no wind, 18° C, Backyard - Light pollution - Bortle 5.

 

STACKING AND POST PROCESSING: AstroPixelProcessor (stacking, background neutralisation, light pollution removal, calibrate background and stars colours) , Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 + StarXTerminator.

 
milky way and a meteor by Urs Walesch

This was one of my first pictures I took with my new iOptron Skytracker... The picture is only one picture and not one picture for the foreground and one picture for the background . In the nexet few weeks I will post a few more pictures with the milky way :) I hope you enjoy these pictures...

Panorama of the Milky Way arch over Clatworthy Reservoir on Exmoor by Harvey Grenville

This is a 36 panel (12 x3) tracked panorama. Each of the sky panel shots were taken on a 2 minute exposure using an Ioptron Skyguider Pro star tracker. I ended up with dew on my lens as I was taking the foreground shots so the image quality is not as good as I would like. The images were stitched and processed in LR and PS.
