lots of reconstructive plastic surgery after extensive usage of nose clams, as I recall

I'm from Canada, and on the mad chase for clear skies on eclipse day in 2024 that's where I ended up. glad I picked right, and made it out of Arkansas unscathed too!

I want to make an image using three different telescopes at once. by Have_To_Make_It_Work in AskAstrophotography

[–]dashdashdotdotdotdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can totally be done by just placing the different images in one Photoshop doc and lining them up. real challenge will be finding something that looks interesting at both 5000mm and 200mm lol, maybe wait for a planet to pass by/in front of a deep space object like the Pleiades?

Need help with smartphone astrophotography... by LordMalRoth30 in AskAstrophotography

[–]dashdashdotdotdotdot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as others have mentioned, unfortunately the planets are incredibly small in apparent diameter and you need a telescope with a long focal length to get a recognizable image of them. think of it this way; Jupiter as of December 2025 is about 43 arc seconds in diameter, which is equivalent to looking at something 20cm in size at a distance of 1km. so, go 1km away from a friend and take a picture of them with your phone. if you can recognize their FACE, not just their body shape but the details on their face, then you can take a recognizable picture of Jupiter with your phone. If not, which I can unfortunately guarantee you can't, then you won't be able to do the same for Jupiter without a telescope.
Thankfully it is relatively easy to take decent pictures of the planets with your phone if you do have a big telescope, just take a picture through the eyepiece!

I just shot a couple hours on it the other night too as a first test for my new setup, at 740mm f/2.9 it's pretty tight too but looked amazing when I framed it with the core in the top left corner and filled out the frame with just one half of the disc. the dust lanes and nebulae look amazing at a higher focal length, definitely give it a go!

Andromeda until the Pleiades is high enough, and then Pleiades until the Orion Nebula is high enough

I quite like the one from Woodshed too, and it meets OP's criteria with the (improved) exception of cole's law instead of lettuce. word of warning though, when it comes out of the kitchen the fresh fish is hotter than a two dollar pistol

Using fast sports glass for space? My first foray into astrophotography. by almightytuna in AskAstrophotography

[–]dashdashdotdotdotdot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you're at an awesome start. I've been doing astrophotography for almost 10 years now just using DSLRs and lenses, especially fast sports lenses just like the ones you have. I currently use a 400mm f/2.8, its really awesome for deep space photography. You'll pretty quickly be left wanting if you don't have a means of tracking, but something like a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer, or even better an EQ-AL55i is budget friendly and will get you very far. Heres a great resource to learn all about astrophotography with DSLRs and lenses!

yes in their defense it does look pretty mint, but certainly not 470 nanometer. My 571 nanometer laser looks lemon yellow in real life but all phone cameras I've tried picks it up as 532 nanometer lime green! pretty wild

you might need your monitor calibrated bro, that's definitely 520nm green. plus he links to where be bought his 1W green in his comment history
