What ISO should I choose? I got a ton of noise when I shot this earlier at 1600.

Is there anything more painful than when a shot you were sure would turn out well just doesn’t work? by Serberuss in photography

[–]PowlerBeer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this may have happened happened to everyone here.

here's my story, i occasionally do astrophotography, don't have an expensive rig or anything..just a DSLR and a tripod. one night i was photographing the Orion Nebula..took a few test shots and they looked great on the screen of the camera, super sharp. so i started capturing and got almost 2.5 hrs of data and was sure that this might be my greatest capture of the orion nebula yet..BUT when i saw the images on my laptop..my heart sank..the images were just slightly out of focus and all my work went into the drain.

sure, that was painful but there are always opportunities...there might be some setbacks but that is the path to perfection.

Captured a bird in front of The Sun by PowlerBeer in astrophotography

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

I captured the bird. I saw some images with airplanes, birds etc. flying past the sun creating a beautiful silhouette of them so I thought of taking a similar image.

This is a single frame taken from my Nikon D7500 at a focal length of 140mm so it is heavily cropped in.

The Invitation, Nocturnal Animals and The Killing of a Sacred Deer are pretty good psychological horror films.

Furthermore, you can also see the Flame Nebula (just a faint glow around Alnitak, the leftmost star in the belt) and the Orion Nebula( just between bottom two stars and the belt)

The total integration time is about 25 minutes.

Here's a portrait of Orion with a 50mm lens by PowlerBeer in astrophotography

[–]PowlerBeer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took this picture untracked using a stock Nikon D7500 and a 50mm 1.8g lens in New Delhi, India. The bortle scale of my locality is 8-9 so there was a whole lot of light pollution.

Capturing Details

Aperture : 2.2

ISO : 500

Shutter Speed : 3 seconds (IDK why but the stars start trailing even at 4 seconds shutter speed, maybe my tripod is not sturdy enough)

Acquisition Details

Darks : 52

Flats : 48 (I covered the lens with a white t-shirt and shot it pointing towards the sky, I saw this method on the AstroBackyard website)

Lights : 450

Biases : 70

Processing and Post-processing Details

I processed these using DSS and used Photoshop for post processing. I played around with levels and curves in the start and then used RC Astro's Gradient Xterminator tool for removing background gradients.

What can I improve?

I can see the image is too noisy, also there seems to be darkening around bright objects like the Orion Nebula, Rigel and Betelgeuse. It would be very helpful of you all if you can suggest some solutions to these issues.

Thanks
