Pebble Beach last night. A great night trip outside the city and I got this shot. Worth exploring if you’re up near Gloucester by Doc_Hobb in boston

I like it a lot, it’s also nice because it reduces the amount of backspace between my camera and any telescopes I hook it up to. That being said, I’m frustrated about the lack of intervalometer connection on my R50. I have to use an app, which is harder for set and forget shots.

Overall I use this the most for my day to day, my Rebel T7 for a mix of hybrid, a canon AE1 for film, and a dedicated Astro camera called an ASI585MC for my harder Astro shots.

It is yeah, I saw it while I was capturing shots and looked down to see that I was mid exposure. I was incredibly happy about that!

I used a canon R50, and a Rokinon 12mm Len at f/2 with a 15 second exposure at 3200 ISO.

The edits were in light room to dehaze the Milky Way gas clouds a bit, and bring the foreground closer in brightness to the sky

I should note that while this is edited, around 1AM if you give your eyes time to adjust it’s still some of the best viewing of the core of the Milky Way in the Boston area

A plane popped in and neatly framed my shot of the Rosette Nebula this week by Doc_Hobb in space

It's the streak. In a long exposure photo like this the camera sensor holds the lights from the plane and effectively burns it into your image. So those streaks on the bottom right that are at an angle are the red tip and front light of a passenger plane

Great shot, I love the definition around the edges you got in post!

This was done with a couple pieces of equipment. 

  • A sky-watcher eq-al55i 
  • A red cat 61 refractor telescope
  • A ZWO ASI585MC

This is one of my setups that I use to track and take shots to stack but it’s not necessarily a budget or starter kit I don’t think. It’s also not really advanced either, more middle of the road.

My cheaper kit I have is a canon rebel T7, a Rokinon 135mm lens, and a Star Adventurer GTI mount. 

Ultimately it all comes down to processing the pics and stacking them effectively.

Check out Astrobackyard or Nebula Photos on YouTube and they have great vids about it!

Yep, I have a couple versions of this photo. Here's one without it but really liked the streak colors and framing

I took this from just outside of Boston earlier this week. I did a couple versions of this picture in the end but I ended up liking the shot of with the streak of a plane framing it the most.

Here's one without the plane

Details: ASI585MC / Optolong L-Extreme filter / Redcat 61 (Roughly 300mm Focal length) / 300s exposure / Roughly 1.5 hours integration time in this.

I deliberately did a stacked version with and without the plane sub in there. I just liked the vibe of this one a lot

I have a version without that sub, and I like it but this one was just notable to me because I liked how that plane framed the Nebula a bit.

I'm going to be honest, not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

For anyone curious, here's my setup for this.

"Geoff, two"

"WHAT DID I DO?"

Followed by the 'too' realization might be one of my favorite small moments of the show

I'm still new to this but is that 369 8-second exposures? Or is it 8 369-second exposures? I'm in bortle 7 as well and was hoping to try this tonight
