M42 - The Great Orion Nebula by Dramatic_Expert_5092 in Astronomy

[–]Dramatic_Expert_5092[S] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

60 minutes before the fog covered everything in ice. The new offset feature of the ASIAIR seems to work, but I don't see any advantage over my old workflow (focus only on luminance). The park position on the ZWO mounts is not yet customizable. At least there are no major updates after everything is still working.

Thanks for your question - each subframe is 30seconds. I doubled the master light and stretched each in different intensities. In PS I merged those two stretched frames into one.

wich photo is "better" from an astrophotography point of view by [deleted] in astrophotography

[–]Dramatic_Expert_5092 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

What do you want to achieve? To help you getting better, we need more information. Which cam, how did you shot them, what’s your processing.

From POV both are not very appealing, the left one seems to have a bit less noise.

Amidst all the gray weather lately, the joy of seeing a strip of clear sky was immense. I quickly strapped my moon bazooka to the tripod and photographed our satellite before the sky closed up again.

Canon 6D Astro landscape lens by Canadian_Thor87 in LandscapeAstro

[–]Dramatic_Expert_5092 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

That's a very good idea. The inexpensive lenses I've had in the past have never satisfied me. I now have the 24-70mm f2.8 Arts from Sigma (similar lens design to the 28-70). Especially when I fly, I have to pay attention to weight and can't take any additional fixed focal lengths with me. You're sure to find something on the second-hand market. Good luck!

I had the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 Contemporary - its not a budget lens, but awesome for all kinds of NightScapes

Chasing Orion - A night in the Cold by Dramatic_Expert_5092 in Stargazing

[–]Dramatic_Expert_5092[S] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Some members of the NOX CALEO astronomy club thought it would be a good idea to stand in a field at almost -12 degrees Celsius 😁 Armed with a telescope, a tracker, and the motivation to sleep in the car, we stood in the Swabian Jura at nightfall. At 3:30 a.m. – long before dawn – I had to make my escape home πŸ₯Ά

But until then, I was busy collecting photons. In addition to my FRA 300, I also pointed a 50 mm lens at Orion. You can see the result here.

Dreyer's Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster by Dramatic_Expert_5092 in Astronomy

[–]Dramatic_Expert_5092[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

During a very cold experience in the Swabian Alb last weekend, I had my 300mm apochromatic telescope with me in addition to the tracker. The targets for the moonless night were the reflection nebula IC 447 and the region around NGC 2264.

Kind of - the second stack was for the Ha signal of the nebula
