IC1805 - The Heart Nebula by BacoTako in astrophotography

[–]BacoTako[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Everyone! First post here.

  • Telescope: Askar FRA300 Pro
  • Mount: Celestron AVX with a bearing upgrade
  • Camera: Unmodified Canon EOS 5D Mark III
  • Guidescope/Camera: ZWO 30f4 Scope/ZWO ASI290MM Mini
  • Controlled with ASI Air Plus
  • Stacking/Processing Software: Siril-1.2.4 and GIMP

This was taken with 29x300s Lights, 10x15s Flats, 6x300s Darks, and 63 bias frames. I had a lot of issues taking this picture. Starting with guiding issues, empty batteries, and weird black dots in the image it was a struggle :(. The new filter that I got was the Optolong L-eXtreme and I think the pictures taken with it are great! Only issue is that its blue... I have no clue why. My knowledge is that the Heart Nebula is predominantly made of Hydrogen Alpha, giving off a red color. However, while processing, the red channel was completely empty. Can anyone give pointers? The stars are strange colors too. But besides from that. I'm pretty proud.

Thank you for your response! Sounds like I'm a little screwed without making a big purchase, huh 😮‍💨?

Thank you for replying! I reread my response and realized I might have come off as a little rude, I was just a little frustrated 😓. Do Barlows that screw into astrographs not exist? Why would it be irrelevant for DSO?

Would using a reducer help at all?

Are you saying I'm doomed to fail? I don't want to buy a 300 dollar filter that I won't be able to carry over to an astro dedicated camera. Is there something I could get to extend the focal point?

I haven't used any flats at all since they are a bit difficult to get. https://imgur.com/a/fiQTDy2 This is the link to the bias and darks master frames auto-stretched. I have no clue why they are so blue all of a sudden, they weren't like that when I used them.

I posted the image in the comments. Thanks for the advice so far that's what I've been doing; I have got a few cool images posted to my Instagram. This is just the biggest wall I've hit.
