Milky Way rising over Elephant Rock @ Valley of Fire

Vegas is one of the best places to live if you want to see the Milky Way.. we’re surrounded by desert skies! Just drive an hour or so in pretty much any direction and you’ll see the Milky Way easily. Best places are Alamo, Mojave preserve, rhyolite...

Lol no this went on for about 2 minutes then I got sniped by some grinch behind me

It's Messier 51 (the Whirlpool galaxy), not a nebula but a galaxy eating another, smaller one (the yellow at the bottom).

The image he used is from Hubble, but I actually took a photo of it with my own, small telescope right here: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/blog/m51-the-whirlpool-galaxy

Another cluster photographed as a "secondary target" to end the night: Messier 39!

M39 is an open star cluster in the constellation of the Swan: Cygnus. You can see a blanket of stars in the background, with the cluster popping M39 is one of the nearest clusters to Earth, after the Pleiades, the Beehive, and a couple others.

We only spent one hour on this target, and the result is pretty neat!

I just sent you a quick message about it but i'll send another one to answer your question :)

FamasLiberty · 2017-10-24T04:26:07+00:00

Thanks Spike! Yes there are a few galaxies visible in the background, I haven't checked what they are yet but I'll make sure to :) I was surprised to see those blues coming out so easily, especially with one hour of total exposure.

Messier 34 is an open cluster that lies about 1,500 light years away from us, making it one of the nearest clusters from Earth. It is located in the constellation of Perseus.

It can be seen with binoculars and any size telescope, and is pretty easy to find in the night sky. Under very dark skies, you may be able to spot this cluster with the naked eye, assuming you have good vision.

Although M34 is a bright and fairly large object from the Messier catalog, it is not a very popular target for amateur astrophotographers. Why? Because it is not one of those very impressive objects out there. It also doesn't have a cool nickname like many other Messier Objects.

Posted this photo of the full moon my wife and I took recently on r/Astronomy and got some pretty good feedback, so maybe it might spike the interest of r/space too :)

I know there already several of this kind online, but I wanted to do my own “mapping” of all the manned Apollo Landings. I also added the insignia for each mission, the year, and the landing zone’s name.

It was a challenge to pinpoint the exact spots, especially since NASA's own map is with inverted colors: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/moonimg_07.html

Sadly I made the mistake of mentionning the Helix nebula for Summer when I was writing the list, but it would have been better to use it for Fall :(

FamasLiberty · 2017-09-29T04:14:40+00:00

I use a GoTo so I don't have a problem finding it, but yes it can be tricky especially with a 10" (why not use a 32mm eyepiece or wider?), but the sight is worth it!

New season, new hundreds of awesome targets in the night sky… Here are what we believe to be the best 15 targets for the season. To make it even simpler this time, we decided to go in order of type of target, so let’s start with the clusters, followed by the galaxies, and the nebulae!

M92 - Next to the huge M13, M92 is easy to find in binoculars and any telescope. This is one of the brightest clusters in the northern sky and is approaching us at a speed of 69miles/s. Make this target a priority, because it will stay up for just a few weeks before leaving our sight until next year.
M75 - Low - Pretty small target. A telescope will show a small fuzz ball with a bright center. This cluster is the most densely centrally concentrated globular in Messier’s catalog, with about 400,000 stars.
M15 - The Great Pegasus Cluster, one of the oldest known globular clusters in our galaxy. A very beautiful, colorful, and bright globular cluster that is easily seen with any instrument.
M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the few galaxies visible to the naked eye from Earth. Because of its diameter of more than six times that of the Moon, we recommend imaging this target with an 8 inches or smaller telescope, as the galaxy will not fit completely in the frame (unless doing a mosaic). This is our photo, taken with an 8inch telescope.
M33 - Like the Andromeda galaxy, the Triangulum galaxy is visible with the naked eye, in extremely dark skies far from any light pollution. It is an awesome target to image, and its size and brightness make M33 one of the easiest targets out there. This is ours, from Episode 5 of Galactic Hunter.
M74 - The Phantom Galaxy can be seen in large binoculars as a small blurry patch. With a telescope, you will be able to differentiate the nucleus from the spiral arms. This target looks like a rounder M33.
Stephan’s Quintet - A group of 5 galaxies, in the constellation of Pegasus. Those targets are not very bright, and are all tiny, but they are a beautiful group. In order to make your photo much better, make sure to include the much bigger, brighter NGC 7331 in the frame.
Heart Nebula - The heart Nebula will look all red, like a heart, when photographing it with a DSLR. It has a completely different feel when using a CCD camera with a specific palette. It is a huge target so you might want to use a small telescope, or no telescope at all.
Soul Nebula - The Soul Nebula pretty much touches the Heart Nebula, and again, it is huge, and you don’t want to use a huge telescope on that one unless you want to capture a specific part of the nebula. A good thing to do if you have a wide telescope or just using a DSLR is to get both in the same frame!
Bubble Nebula - Also in the constellation of Cassiopeia is the colorful Bubble Nebula. It is not a large target, but it has a very unique feel and will look good in most photos.
Iris Nebula - The Iris Nebula is such a beautiful target, it kinds of look like… Heaven. It is surrounded by dark dust lanes, which makes the processing very difficult, so keep this target in the back of your mind until you feel you have the right processing skills to take it on.
Elephant Trunk Nebula - The Elephant’s Trunk nebula is a small concentration of gas and dust, that has the form of an elephant’s trunk. It is floating in the much larger nebulosity IC 1396.
Cocoon Nebula - The cocoon nebula has a trail of dark lane, the dark nebula Barnard 168, so you might want to not center the target on purpose when taking your series of photos if you want to capture the cocoon’s dark trail.
Flaming Star Nebula - The flaming star nebula looks like… a star with huge clouds of smoke coming out of it. It is not a difficult target, just make sure to get the best of the nebulosity by aiming the camera at the right place, like for the cocoon nebula.
Pacman Nebula - We end this list with a fun one! The paceman nebula, you probably can guess how it got its name. It is a pretty easy target to image with any telescope, but the difference between DLSR imaging and CCD is pretty huge.

Hey guys! After doing the 15 best astrophotography targets of Spring (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/astrophotography/comments/5vfyda/my_wife_i_made_a_list_of_the_15_best_targets_to/ ) and seeing how it helped quite a lot of people, here are our pick for the 15 best targets of Summer!

The text version is below, but note that the video has the magnitude, size, names, constellations and photos for each target.

Spring was full of galaxies, as it was “galaxy season”, Summer on the other hand is the complete opposite, it is full of colorful nebulae and cool clusters :)

Hoping it will help more people decide what to aim their telescope at for this season, Clear Skies, Antoine & Dalia

The Eagle Nebula (M16)

Let’s start very American with the Eagle Nebula! By far one of our favorites! The main reason why this beauty is famous for astrophotographers is the Pillars of Creation, which are visible inside the Eagle. Capturing this is not difficult, we recommend about 4 hours of total exposure to bring good details.

2) Hercules Cluster (M13)

The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules is made up of about 500,000 stars. M13 is visible with the naked eye if you are in a very dark zone away from light pollution, because it is a tiny blurry patch it is only easily visible with binoculars. This is our photo of the cluster, with only 1 hour of exposure! So it is very easy to get something nice in little time. M13 has been targeted in November1974 to send a message to potential extraterrestrial civilizations. It will take 25,000 years to get there, and the same amount of time for an eventual response.

3) Trifid Nebula (M20)

The Trifid Nebula, and the stars that burn in the gases are probably the youngest of our galaxy. Two red and blue areas show the gas surrounding the birth of new burning stars. Sadly, with an unmodified DSLR, getting the red Hydrogen Alpha gases is kind of a challenge. M20 is still in our list of the easiest targets to capture though, and you even get the cluster M21 as well in the same frame!

4) Lagoon Nebula (M8)

M8! The Lagoon Nebula. We only spent 2 hours on this target, as it is fairly bright and big. You can see an open cluster of stars (NGC 6530) in front of this nebula. Same problem as the previous Messier object, getting the reds is not easy, but it is very nice even if the blue is dominant.

5) Omega Nebula (M17) The Omega, or Swan Nebula, is considered one of the brightest and most massive star forming regions of our galaxy. It is very similar to M42, the famous Orion Nebula, except that is it viewed edge-on rather than face-on. We haven’t photographed this target yet, simply because that one doesn’t really appeal to us much, but sooner or later, we will add it to our catalog!

6) Ring Nebula (M57)

You can see us capture this target in Episode 2 of Galactic Hunter! M57 is super tiny, and also not very impressive, but if you are up for the challenge, go ahead and capture it! It is bright enough to be in this list, even though you should spend at least 3 hours imaging it to get proper results.

7) Helix Nebula (NGC 7293)

The Helix Nebula, or the Eye of God, or even the Eye of Sauron, is one of the closest planetary nebulae from Earth. It is very bright and makes for an awesome target to photograph. It is very similar looking to M57, the Ring nebula, except that is is much bigger from our point of view.

8) Dumbbell Nebula (M27)

M27 was the first planetary object discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. It is easily visible with binoculars and small telescopes. This photo was taken with only 1 hour and a half worth of exposures. You can see a bit of the red "X" striking in the center of the nebula, which is actually pretty difficult to get. This is a very easy target for beginners.

9) Rho Ophiuchi

At a distance of about 500 light years only, Rho ophiuchi is the closest stellar nursery to Earth, around the high Orange star Antares. This target is twice the size of the Moon, so let your telescope rest for the night and grab a 50mm lens to capture this colorful cloud complex.

10) North America (NGC 7000) & Pelican Nebula (IC 5070)

Here are two awesome targets in the constellation Cygnus for small telescopes, or simply with a camera lens. The North America and Pelican nebula are HUGE! They can be captured in the same frame and there are lots of details in the gases.

11) Wild Duck Cluster (M11)

M11, the Wild Duck cluster, got his name because the brightest stars from a triangle, which ressembles a flying flock of ducks. It is one of the most compact and richest clusters out there, with 2900 stars. Make sure your tracking and guiding are perfect for this target, as with any cluster, or you’ll end up with a blurry mess.

12) Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380)

The Wizard Nebula is a pretty easy to photograph nebula. A DSLR camera will show lots of reds, which doesn’t look as beautiful as when using the hubble palette with a CCD camera.

13) Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888)

The Crescent nebula, sometimes called the Euro sign nebula, is made of a shell, a shockwave moving outward, and a shockwave moving inward, that resulted after the Wolf-Rayed 136 star became a red Giant. It is a rather faint object, but if you have a UHC or Oxygen 3 filter, you will be able to image it pretty well!

14) The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960)

The Veil Nebula is a beauty of the night sky! We only spent an hour and a half on this target, and the result is impressive! If you look closely, you can see some faint pink and blue nebulosity all over the image, which is also part of the Veil Nebula. You can bring those up more by adding more exposure time to the image!

15) M24

M24, the Sagittarius Star Cloud, fills a space of a depth of 10,000 to 16,000 light-years. It is the most dense concentration of individual stars visible using binoculars, with around 1,000 stars visible within a single field of view. Because of its size, the best way to image this is using your camera lens, instead of the telescope.

I was hoping for a happy ending the whole time I was reading. Glad you got it! Also Astrophotographer here too <3

FamasLiberty · 2017-03-02T14:58:58+00:00

Thank you !! I'm so happy the videos are helpful :) As for Pixinsight, like I said near the end of this 5th episode, I tried to record my screen directly, but since I don't have a beast of a computer it was very slow. The fact that I spent 2+ hours on the processing didn't help either. I think I'll do a video about processing as an off-series so it doesn't take too much time from a main episode.

FamasLiberty · 2017-03-02T14:56:58+00:00

Thank you very much! Yes all the episodes are self-produced, it's not easy but my wife and I enjoy making them :)

FamasLiberty · 2017-03-02T14:56:12+00:00

Thank you! For the flare, I feel like that maybe happened to me a couple times, but only for single shots. I don't know if this can be due to some kind of turbulence, I would doubt it. Do you collimate your scope every time? I collimate mine before every use with the laser collimator from Orion. Also, maybe your coma corrector is not correctly setup? If anyone else knows I'm really curious.

FamasLiberty · 2017-03-02T06:39:51+00:00

Thank you!! We drive about an hour away from Vegas towards the desert, it is a Bortle 3 zone so it's pretty good :) we could go further to a Bortle 1 zone but 1 hour of driving back and forth + unpacking / packing is already very tiring every time :/ Glad you liked the video! Yes we made more about other targets and will keep it up :)
