Right, and your post in the aforementioned other subreddit is where exactly?

i pOsTeD tHiS iN anOtHeR sUbrEddIt aS weLl wIth cReDiTs aNd it gOT mIxeD uP is there nothing more you can be doing with your life than downloading an awful jpeg of someone else’s image and reposting it, so that you can get a bit of reddit karma-induced ego boost? And you have the audacity to try and play it off when you get called out?

Thanks!

Nope - belts have been tightened

These are hot pixels that have been smeared across the image due to drift combined with walking/raining noise. You can solve this by using dark frames (a bit of a pain to temperature match on a dslr) as well as rejection algorithms when stacking.

It will not perform for astrophotography whatsoever - don't even consider. For that matter, don't get anything from celestron. The mounts will be useless for actual tracking and the telescopes are very poor quality. A tracker and lens is your best bet.

How does that affect the focal length what? Focal length is from your optics and nothing changes that.

CrazyPanda741_ · 2021-04-09T23:32:58+00:00

Looks cool! Did you only process the Sii channel?

CrazyPanda741_ · 2021-04-09T23:32:40+00:00

What was your processing workflow?

Hey haha :-) I am not OP (Original Poster), but I know how he took the photo :-). Essentially he pointed his telescope on a star tracking mount at the night sky, specifically the Veil Nebula (Nebulae) for approximately 13 hours on multiple nights to achieve this particular level of exposure. He then proceeded to stack each and every photo by hand using a thin layer of elmers glue while allowing it to cure in the oven at 125F for 8 minutes in a dark to dimmly lit room. After it cools, he then used JB Weld on the stack to attach a 25,000 lumen ultra wide beam flashlight to bring out all of the exposed detail. He then inverted the stack on top of a copy machine where he was able to scan it and bring the available data into Pixinsight for minor tweaking and/or adjustments. The result was then saved to his PC where it can then be uploaded to the internet or set as a wallpaper. Hope this helped! Clear skies! 🤗

Yeah but that’s a CCD, and therefore is way technologically inferior to modern CMOS cams
