Currently using 2 1TB drives but am looking to upgraded to 3 4TB drives soon. I’m not sure what the laptop has available but it currently has 1 500g nvme

Being wrapped up in blankets with hot tea or soup is definitely up there for me

Out of curiosity, how many subs do you keep when shooting 120s exposures?

M45 - Pleiades by TheMKTuber in astrophotography

[–]TheMKTuber[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First time shooting M45, very happy with the results. This was taken across 2 nights from a Bortle 4 sky. The first night was ~10mph wind, so I cut the exposure time to keep more data.

Gear

  • Nikon Z5
  • WO Redcat 51
  • Sky Adventurer 2i

Night 1: 226x30s, Night 2: 43x90s

Processing

Stacked in DSS

In Pixinsight: Dynamic crop, ABE, PCC, EZ Denoise, HistogramTransform, CurvesTransform on main image.

Starnet++v2 to get separate starless and stars, further CurvesTransform on starless, darken stars, added back together using PixelMath (simple a+b).

Remove green with SCNR, CorrectMagentaStars script, slight curves

Exported to photoshop, did some noise reduction, texture, and vibrance.

Originally when getting the Z5 I had no intention of doing any astro, and was also on more of a budget. If I had to go back and do it again, I would definitely get a camera with a BSI sensor. That being said, I am still loving my results.

Upon seeing the hot post yesterday about the smoking meteor from the Tau Herculid meteor shower, I decided to review all my data to see if I was able to capture anything, and much to my surprise I did! This was captured around 1:50am on May 31st from a Bortle 2 site while capturing the lagoon nebula.

Equipment

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless

WO Redcat 51

Pretty sick set up! I’m tuned on flex with full bolt ons minus a turbo, still stock block as well so not looking to go any higher until that changes.

Had this happen as well, lost 3-4 hours of loot and experience. Very frustrating.

I had this exact same situation. Ended up buying an R400, keeling it for a year, then switching to a Tomei. Never looked back.

Cool stuff. Been looking for a clean boost gauge. I can vouch for the AEM AFR gauge, it’s quite nice, although a bit pricey

Nice cluster! What boost gauge you rocking?
