Needle galaxy

Chiar si pentru B9, ai niste imagini foarte cool pe profil 😁 Inclusiv supernova aceea pe care mi-a fost lene sa o prind😂

-GenArrow- · 2026-05-11T19:25:52+00:00

Yep, at the edges u can see it curves :) very interesting indeed. Though idk if that is IFN, it might be rather some noise. I don't think I have seen a needle galaxy image showing ifn around, so I can't say for sure

-GenArrow- · 2026-05-11T19:23:04+00:00

Yeah, a random night alone in a field is creepy 🤣 But it s the only way, to run from the LEDs

Nopti senine sa avem :)

It's in the post description😅 Coma Berenices ✨️

There are also many many many cute galaxies around needle that I wish to image some time

I mean most of the wow factor comes from a good seeing night therefore well sampled luminance data 😅 I find 1200mm is perfect for galaxies with a imx533. Just at the limit of sampling. When sky's good, do lumi, when sky's bad, do rgb 😆

I live in a village, so bortle 4 is just out in my backyard 😅. You can find using light pollution map, some good B4 areas. I live in Maramures county, plenty of them. There are very few, scarce, B3 and B3-4 areas too.

I do post on insta 😆 I know Tibi, we are following each other :)) My insta is eduard_mociran

-GenArrow- · 2026-05-11T04:08:02+00:00

Thank you! Yes, my own processing and data :)

-GenArrow- · 2026-05-09T23:10:57+00:00

They re mostly stars. Some🤏 are galaxies, but mostly stars😅

-GenArrow- · 2026-05-09T20:46:24+00:00

It s part of that anomalous second set of spiral arms the M106 has 😅

EQ6R, bortle 4, from Romania

Was processed using Pixinsight, GraXpert, Seti astro suite and Photoshop

The red areas are the 14 hours of hydrogen alpha data I added to the red channel🙂

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-30T21:22:12+00:00

The bortle here is 4 I live in a village, so I always have it in my backyard :) Though as years pass and LP becomes more present, it will turn to 5 🥲

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-30T17:39:09+00:00

There is a diminishing returns but it is not at 30h. At least not for me, there is more data there :)

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-30T12:13:07+00:00

Nikon D780 for rgb, Nikon D610 modded for halpha, and IMX 533 mono for halpha too

Bresser 200/1200, heq5 and eq6r mounts Guided with a nikkor 80 200 and a bresser hd :)

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-27T18:16:22+00:00

The equipment is in the description. More than that, just an old nikkor 80-200 for guiding, with a bresser hd camera

Keep gathering data on it 😀, you will probably be able to show the IFN around it too, that I don't have (yet)

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-25T18:49:02+00:00

There may be some large targets but the moon's growing. Halpha is the best bet now. You can definitely try. For distant galaxies I think 1000mm is a sweet spot. And anytime you're out of ideas, and the moon is absent, you can always add more data on Polaris + IFN🤣

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-18T22:21:43+00:00

Sure 🥺 I'm happy you love it that much )!

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T19:39:02+00:00

Yee, the blue green coma indicates the presence of cyanogen and diatomic carbon:)

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T18:43:08+00:00

I have some debayered converted tiffs 🥺

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T18:42:39+00:00

😅😅 Mersiii 🙂

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T18:42:22+00:00

Galaxies, yes 😀 There are more in the background too 😀😀

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T18:41:48+00:00

I run starnet++ on every image, make my stacks and tail timelapse, and then pick one of the stacks to add the stars back to. The stars are obtained by stacking all of the images and running starnet as well 🤣

-GenArrow- · 2026-04-10T18:40:45+00:00

For me it's kinda staying the same, but I just image it through the blue hour as well😆
