The Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, 5000 light-years from Earth. It is formed by the fast stellar wind from a Wolf-Rayet star colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around thousands of years ago. Please subscribe and follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chucksastrophotography/ I used narrowband filters and put 'Ha' in the Red Channel and 'OIII' in the Green and Blue Channels.

A new dedicated astrophotography camera, the ZWO ASI533 MC Pro. Full Post: https://astrobackyard.com/zwo-asi533mc-pro/ Order Online: http://bit.ly/2QOsbnA In this video, I test out the new ZWO ASI533 MC Pro color camera for astrophotography in the backyard. I show you how I set up the spacing with my Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 telescope and Starizona APEX 0.65X reducer/flattener. The final image includes just 13 x 4-minutes of exposure time. Expect a lot more information about the ZWO ASI533 in the near future!

In this video, I cover all of the mistakes I MADE when I started astrophotography, some as recent as last year! Here is a list of mistakes I have made over the years: 1. Not starting with a compact, wide-field telescope 2. Not choosing a smart target for your gear and location 3. Not utilizing narrowband filters with your camera 4. Over-analyzing your autoguiding graph 5. Not dithering your images between each frame 6. Not using camera control software 7. Not processing color images channel by channel All of these astrophotography tips helped me capture and process better images. I hope you find at least one of them helpful to advance your progress!

The Sequence Generator Pro Flats Frame Calibration Wizard helps anyone with a flat box or flat panel take properly exposed flat frames for astrophotography. The initial setup is tricky, but I take you step-by-step through a full calibration run and then add the flats to a new sequence for M45! Without flat frames, your astrophotos may have odd gradient rings, and dark corners. Flat frames smooth out the light gradients so the final photo looks much more professional. Sequence Generator pro Flat Frames are easy enough to include in any imaging sequence. If you have the means to take flat frames, there is no reason why you shouldn't calibrate them in SGP first, and include them with every new sequence you do!

2020 Milky Way Photography Workshops: http://bit.ly/2ma2Uai Sadly it is the end of the Milky Way Photography season and our Milky Way Core is going to hide during daytime all throughout December. So what do we do now here in October and November to get the best out of our final Milky Way images of 2019? In tonight's Milky Way Wednesday replay from last year, I help you answer TWO MAJOR questions: When to go out AND Will anything block your view. I explain the process of using PhotoPills Pin-to-Pin Geodetic Info to know precisely if the location you have in mind will block the Milky Way Core from being seen. NOTE: I will NOT be around for tonight's premiere! Sadly you guys will have to chat amongst yourselves. I will see you next week though! 😀 -Aaron #MilkyWayPhotography #NovemberMilkyWay #Photography Are you a Milky Way Photographer? Want to prove you are a Master? Join us at MilkyWayPhotographers.com!

Complete Image Processing Guide: https://sellfy.com/p/0zsyyq/ In this video, I share the most powerful image processing techniques I use in Adobe Photoshop. These are rather simple steps you can use on your next astrophotography processing session. Essentially, you need to process each color channel SEPERATELY because the signal, noise profile and star size will vary! Assessing and Editing RGB Color Photos channel by channel 2. Selective Noise Reduction on a per-channel basis 3. Selective Star Minimizing on a per-channel basis 4. Building and Adding a Luminance Layer for better highlights

In April, 2019 scientists shocked the world by publishing the first-ever image of a black hole! In this case- the supermassive black hole at the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, some 55 million light years away. In this talk, Ric Honey- electrical engineer, ham radio operator, and long-time amateur astronomer- discusses some of the techniques used to image the black hole of M87. Radio Astronomy gave birth to the image processing and interferometry techniques that enabled the imaging of the black hole. Ric introduces you to some fundamentals of astronomy in parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum not visible to the human eye, and why observations at these other frequencies have enhanced our understanding of the Universe.

The Heart Nebula lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes. I've captured the Heart Nebula before, but this time I wanted to add it to my collection of 'Once and For All' images that I will be satisfied with for years to come - I hope. It's captured using Optolong narrowband filters and processed in the Hubble Palette.

Capturing impressive deep-sky astroimages is easier than ever with Celestron’s new Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph, the perfect companion to today’s top DSLR or astronomical CCD cameras. This fast, wide-field f/2.2 system offers two huge advantages over traditional f/10 astroimaging: better apparent tracking and shorter exposures. That means you’ll create better-looking astroimages in a fraction of the time, even without the use of an autoguider.

Clip-in H-Alpha Filter for your DSLR The Astronomik 12nm H-alpha filter is a great way to collect isolated wavelengths of light in hydrogen-alpha. Detailed Review ▶ https://astrobackyard.com/dslr-ha-filter/ Astronomik 12nm Ha Filter (Canon) ▶ http://bit.ly/2nyKOQ7 This filter lets you capture astrophotography images under bright moonlight, and create captivating images with small stars in h-alpha. The image can later be added to existing full-color projects, or stand-alone is a dramatic deep-sky portrait in black and white. A modified DSLR camera (full spectrum modification) will allow even more h-alpha signal to reach the sensor, but a stock camera can also benefit from a hydrogen-alpha filter. In this video, I share a number of example images using a clip-in Hα filter on my Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera using camera lenses and telescopes.

I have lots of new astrophotography equipment to try out. At the end of the video, I build my calibration (Bias and Darks) library. Here is a rundown of everything in the video: Astrophotography camera: ZWO ASI1600MM PRO COOLED MONOCHROME CMOS CAMERA Focal reducer: Orion 8894 0.8x Focal Reducer for Refractor Telescopes Broadband and Narrowband filter set: Optolong 1.25" Filter Set with LRGB, H-Alpha, SII, and OIII AC to DC Power Converter: AstroAI AC to DC Converter, 10A 120W 110-220V to 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Telescope cover: Orion 15206 Cloak Cover for Large Mounted Telescopes Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chucksastrophotography/

Not flexing, just an insane demo about how the new iMacs multicore cpus (and 16mb graphics card) just eats up the resources that PixInsight uses to process images. I also share the last couple of nights astrophotography work with the Celestron RASA 8 telescope and the M8 Lagoon nebula!
