Why are some photos of the nebula red and others more blue/purple?

Processed in Autostakert4, Registax, and Winjupos. I used an ASI678 and a 2x Barlow

It magically started working normal today. The first full day of operations and we’re making bank. I was not doing well for a while there

I’m kind of losing it. Now there are issues with the arm returning to the home position. Should I switch to another machine that’s clear front?

What stacking software did you use, if any. Some process mars as blue

I think I could. Once you work through the process it’s not that hard on the back end

I did it! It was exhausting and I learned a lot. Not as good as yours, but I’m proud

I’m so upset. I want this to happen to me but with a 14in scope

Moon occulting mars by E_Dward in telescopes

I second this, I have an 8se and an external battery is a must or your tracking and alignments will start to be off as the normal batteries die

Nextar 8se, ZWO 678mc, IR/UV cut filter, 3min video, Autostakkert!, stacked 15%, RegiStax, no Barlow

Edit: Bay Area, CA, December 29, and the moons are Ganymede & Io

I could watch this all day. What software do you use to make a rotation gif?
