ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

While the moon was still over 90% illuminated, I decided to look for another narrowband target for protection again all that light. I grabbed 6 hours of Ha and OIII data on the Owl Nebula and combined it was 10.1 hours I had on it last year. The Owl nebula wasn't very big so I drizzled it and did come major cropping to bring it in closer. I also was able to capture data on a massive solar storm last week that many were hoping would cause a Northern Lights show. But the Northern Lights failed to appear. Here is more information on the hardware and software: Target: Owl Nebula (M97) Imaging Telescope: Explore Scientific 127mm ED Refractor (952 focal length) Focuser: MoonLite 2.5" Focuser with Motor Auto-Focus Field Flattener: HoTech 2" SCA Field Flattener Mount: Celestron CGX Polar Alignment: QHYCCD PoleMaster Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool Frames: Astronomik Ha: 102x180" (gain: 139, offset: 21) Astronomik Ha: 60x240" (gain: 139, offset: 21) Astronomik OIII: 150x120" (gain: 139, offset: 21) Astronomik OIII: 30x240" (gain: 75, offset: 15) Integration:16.1 hours Guide scope: Orion ST80 Guide Camera: Lodestar X2 Guide Software: PHD2 Calibration Frames: Darks: 50, Bias: 50, Flats: 50 Capture software: Sequence Generator Pro (SGP) Stacking software: PixInsight Post Processing: PixInsight, PhotoShop Dew Shield, Dew Heater Strip Astrobin: https://astrob.in/397371/0/ Target: Solar Storm: Telescope: ES AR102 Camera: ZWO ASI183MM (non-cooled) Filter: DayStar Quark Mount: Celestron AVX Focuser: Rigel Systems Frames: 77 across 60 minutes Astrobin: https://astrob.in/397093/0/ #owl #solarstorm #narrowband

Capturing and processing the Monkey Head nebula was one year in the making. I captured Ha and OIII last year but ran out of time before I could capture SII. Then I almost forgot about it this year, but finally grabbed some SII this week to finish the Hubble Palette on it.

In astrophotography, dithering your sub frames is an amazing noise removal technique. In this video I stack two sets of data to show the benefits of dithering in astrophotography and how dramatic the noise removal is! Remember to Like, Comment, Share and Follow!

I’ve just returned from a vacation to Costa Rica with the goal of capturing some astrophotography images from the resort. I decided to capture the beautiful Carina Nebula with my DSLR camera, as it is so large and bright. Being so close to the equator, the night sky featured many new southern sky deep sky targets I had never seen before.

This is a brief discussion on matching up an astrophotography camera to a telescope. Topics covered are whether the pairing is oversampled or undersampled and takes into consideration the camera's pixel size in microns, the focal length of the telescope, and image scale. Not covered are seeing conditions that can also play a major role. #astrophotography #camera #telescope

The 8" ROWE-ACKERMANN SCHMIDT ASTROGRAPH (RASA 8) is really a telescope I would like to own. I think it's probably just a matter of 'when'. The RASA '11 inch' is a little out of the price range I'm willing to spend at the moment. Here is more information pulled from Celestron's website: * Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor. * Unlike the larger RASA that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. * The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras. * Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift. * Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust. * Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path. * CGE dovetail mounting rail. #celestron #rasa #telescope

Orion Nebula HDR Photoshop Tutorial To produce an astrophotography image of the Orion Nebula with a high dynamic range, it is best to blend a set of varying exposure lengths together. In this video, I combine an image set of 3-minute exposures (stacked) at ISO 800, with a set of 10-second exposures. This helps to reveal the subtle details of the bright core of the Orion Nebula.

There's a new comet in town and it goes by the name Comet Iwamoto (C/2018 Y1). The comet is traveling at a speed of 147,948 miles per hour. I was battling a lot of haze last night, but I kept my telescope pointed at this patch of sky for 50 minutes and captured a very speedy comet. This video is a processing tutorial on how to capture and animate a comet and also how to execute batch processes in PixInsight using the Image Container and Process Container.

It seems I capture the Wizard nebula every year, but this time I went deep and captured 24 hours of narrowband data to hopefully bring out more details and better color than my previous attempts.

Discover how to photograph a lunar eclipse in this tutorial video. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes behind Earth’s shadow, which blocks it from sunlight. At the moment of totality, the lunar disk is not completely dark but has a reddish hue, due to sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere.

This is NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet). I collected 13.5 hours of data on it starting back in December and finishing a month later. This object is nearly 12,000 light years from Earth. The central star is thought to be on its death bed and on the verge of exploding into a supernova. I went with 100% Ha in Red and 100% OIII in Green and Blue.

Capturing comet 46P with a static tripod, tracked OTA and piggy backed lens We will discuss 3 potential ways of capturing a moving target, like comet 46P. The first will be using a static tripod, camera and lens to capture a wider field view. The second will be using a traditional tracked mount and OTA to capture a closer in view of the target. Lastly we will discuss the benefit of using a piggyback mount to add a different focal length to the OTA. We will discuss the software used to obtain and image the target, track the section of the sky and lastly some of the processing done to create the slideshows. All of this will be from a relatively novice perspective. Presented by Ryan Blankenship

This is the second part of the processing party and we processed the Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster. The images were taken with The QHY9c On a William Optics 80mm Zentihstar APO Refractor

This will be the second ever Process Party!!! As we will be looking at the images taken on 1/4/19 and we will be stacking, processing and such...as we got three objects (Rosette and Cone Nebula plus the comet)...So, come and join!!!! and let’s have some fun together!!!!

In this video I included the following: 1) Celestron RASA 11 Review 2) Celestron CGX-L mount review 3) Tips for using Celestron RASA and CGXL-Mount 4) How I captured M45 Pleiades also called Seven Sisters 5) How I processes M45 Pleiades in Pixinsight - complete workflow I hope you enjoy the video.

My plan for 2019 is to try a different light pollution strategy and use the Optolong L-Pro filter as my luminance while leaving my RGB filters unprotected from light pollution. Living in Metro Detroit means I have severe light pollution, a red zone bordering on a white zone. #optolong #astrophotography #astronomy

I will try for the comet again...and this time it won’t be as cloudy so come out and join me as I’ll do what it takes to get this comet..I’ll be taking calls from you the viewer...as we will all get to celebrate my birthday on stream before the big day (December 19th).....So tell your friends your neighbors and let’s celebrate and have a good time!!!!

This video shows the evolution of a chaotic and fascinating binary star system named R Aquarii. The time lapse begins with observations from the Nordic Optical Telescope taken in 1997. In the 15 years since that image was taken the system has been observed by many other telescopes, including ESO’s Very Large Telescope. This video lapses between a selection of these images, showing the expansion and evolution of the material surrounding R Aquarii. R Aquarii is a so-called “symbiotic binary”, comprising two stars surrounded by a large, dynamic cloud of gas (a nebula). Systems like this contain two stars in an unequal and complex relationship. R Aquarii is made up of one hot white dwarf and one red giant. The red giant is losing matter to its small companion and occasionally ejecting matter in weird spurts, loops and trails, forming the intriguing shapes seen here. There is a lot going on between the performers in this cosmic double act. The red giant is a variable star, with a brightness that changes by a factor of 750 every year and three weeks. The faint nebula is named Cederblad 211 and is thought to be the result of a violent nova 250 years ago. Also visible is a narrow, vertical, S-shaped feature, with blobs of superheated material.
