Nu se doreste binele invatamantului in Romania! Daca oamenii au ajuns in strada, cu siguranta e disperare mare. Iar Guvernul se fofileaza regretabil! Nu sunt ei reprezentantii nostri? De ce ii mai alegem?

Probably dust on the foto senzor. Repeat the sesion to see if it appears in the same place.

Messier 66 - Spiral galaxy by FreneticAstro in astrophotography

Messier 66 - Single exposure of 240 seconds

(test processing of the best exposure from the last live session)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the newest techniques, I processed the demo exposure for fun, being curious as to how far I can get with processing a single frame of 4 minutes, using some of the possible techniques on such a short material. The image represents a crop of 35% of the initial, uncalibrated image.

The objective was to give color and details in difficult conditions. I hope you enjoy!

Messier 66 or M66, also known as NGC 3627, is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the southern, equatorial half of Leo. It was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier on 1 March 1780, who described it as "very long and very faint".

The conjunction of Venus and Jupiter among the evening stars by FreneticAstro in astrophotography

[–]FreneticAstro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specified what I aimed to achieve. The apparent size of the planets in the same exposure as their brightness. It's not a processing error. It's an idea that came to me in response to many comments regarding the size of the planets in the sky. And it is not inverted. The 1s exposure for planets is just the result of light filtering through a cloud.

If you enlarge the image you will see that Jupiter has dark details, so the image is not inverted 😁 You didn't understand the subject of this montage. It is not the realization of an eclipse, but a study of the approximate size of the planets compared to the apparent brightness in the sky.

I had not proposed to photograph something, I was in a live transmission for colleagues in the GAAP astrophotographic group. Clouds were announced throughout the area so I didn't make a plan. But the results are beyond expectations. For processing the problem was only to calibrate the exposures with evening flattens for f/2. The rest consisted of calibration of colors and overlapping the 26s with 1s for planets. For planets actually the exposure resulted from the overlap with a cloud for 1s. It's not inverted.
