ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

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.

While testing a new subsystem on the SPHERE planet-hunting instrument on ESO’s Very Large telescope, astronomers were able to capture dramatic details of the turbulent stellar relationship in the binary star R Aquarii with unprecedented clarity — even compared to observations from Hubble. The ESOcast Light is a series of short videos bringing you the wonders of the Universe in bite-sized pieces. The ESOcast Light episodes will not be replacing the standard, longer ESOcasts, but complement them with current astronomy news and images in ESO press releases.

I finally had some clear skies to finish up the Helix Nebula. This was a very tough object to work on in my location because it never rises higher than 27 degrees in the south - so I have a short time to capture each night between obstructions. I'm glad to be moving on - whew! I cropped it to bring the nebula in closer.

Flat Frames are used to correct the vignetting and uneven field illumination created by dust or smudges in your optical train. In this demonstration, I show how to create flats without the need for darks skies or even twilight skies. Flats can be captured during the day as long as you have overcast weather. Not mentioned in this tutorial is that the data was also stacked with 'bias' and 'darks' calibration frames. I may eventually stop using my iPad Pro flats. Here is the equipment used in the demo: Equipment: * Explore Scientific 127mm ED Refractor * ZWO ASI1600MM-c Camera * Old white t-shirt and rubber band * Clouds Software: * Sequence Generator Pro

On November 27, 1885, an astronomer made the first known photograph of a meteor. The picture was taken by Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek. He captured the trail of the meteor on a photographic plate in the Czech Republic. The meteor he captured was part of the Andromedid meteor shower. The Andromedids were associated with Biela's Comet, which broke apart in the 1850s. When Weinek observed the meteor shower in 1885, it was in the middle of a meteor storm. This means that there were way more meteors than usual. Skywatchers could see thousands of meteors per hour. What used to be a spectacular annual meteor shower is now hardly even visible. Instead of photographic plates or digital cameras, astronomers now have to use special tracking equipment to record images of Andromedid meteors.

How to Focus your camera and prevent elongated stars in the edges using Bahtinov Mask and correct backfocus: In this video I will explain why an appropriate back focus is critical from field flattener and also from the telescope in order to achieve edge to edge round stars. On my Celestron AVX mount, I have a Explore Scientific ED 102 Telescope and ZWO071MC camera and a Explore Scientific Field Flattener. In order to achieve a back focus from telescope to the camera I have to maintain a back focus of 155mm. However, from the field flattener to the camera I need 45mm back focus. In between I have an Celestron Off-Axis Guider and a Astromania 2 inch manual filter wheel. There is a common misunderstanding on why the elongated stars visible in the edges of the picture even after using field flattener.

When it comes to astrophotography and setting up a camera and telescope, cable management has been my Achilles' heel. I avoided it like the Plague. But I finally have something that works and there is no more setup table following my telescope where ever it goes.

Join us for a Milky Way Workshop in 2019! https://goo.gl/n3bHzk Go to Goblin Valley: https://goo.gl/mbFAeP Go to Escalante: https://goo.gl/qNpEKp Go to Crater Lake: https://goo.gl/iXnfzD Long-live Crater Lake as being the most amazing clear sky you can find for Milky Way Photography! While there are MANY similarly dark sky locations in Utah, you just don’t get above the dust and debris in the air that changes the clarity. Ever so slightly, but it definitely changes it. Last year when Brendon saw the Milky Way he couldn’t keep himself from exclaiming how this must be the darkest sky site he has been at and I kept correcting him that we have been in several dark sky locations even better than this. So what was the big difference at Crater Lake? Why does the core look more brilliant to the natural eye than it does at crazy dark site Natural Bridges National Monument or Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah? The elevation and conditions of the area! The area is windy but it can be clean and crisp. Even though Crater Lake Rim is anywhere from 7000 to 8000 feet above sea level depending on where you are standing and that areas in Bryce Canyon like Fairyland Point are above 8000 feet! The skies at Bryce Canyon are subjected to the dust of the area all around it and it doesn’t RISE UP out of it the way that the caldera at Crater Lake does. This is just my guess, but it seems a plausible reason for the clarity of the lower contrast areas of the Milky Way Core at Crater Lake than we seem to get standing on the swell that is the Colorado plateau. #MilkyWayPhotography #MilkyWay #CraterLake Support us: https://www.patreon.com/photogadventures Thanks for watching and see you next time!

Hi Folks, This is a quick tutorial on how to remove a stuck lens from an adapter. I bought ZWO Canon EOS Lens T2 Adapter and it was stuck on my lens. I will show you how to quickly remove that adapter. #ZWO #Canon #Adapter

In this session, we'll walk-through a processing of Alex McConahay's data. Please download it and give it a shot. Next week, we'll compare everyone's processing. The data is available for download here... https://app.box.com/s/fzh9e4bzwa90cna2g993pmxtui2h4xuq

Before we learn how the Pixinsight software works, let's learn what is Pixinsight for, who developed it and who are using Pixinsight this currently. I have a website http://whatsupastro.com. Here you will find these tutorials with images, explanation and sample files to play around. I hope this helps someone who is looking for how to quickly learn pixinsight. #pixinsight #astrophotography #astroimaging

This is NGC 1491. My original plan was to capture this nebula with the Hubble Palette, but with the cloudy weather, I decided to work with the data I had, Ha and OIII. I liked the end result enough so that now I am going to skip capturing SII. This object was strong in both Ha and OIII with a very bright core that I had to tone down a bit. I am not sure why it's known as the Fossil Footprint. Here is more info on the hardware and software: Target: Fossil Footprint (NGC 1491) in Ha and OIII Imaging Telescope: Explore Scientific 127mm ED Refractor (952 focal length) Focuser: MoonLite 2.5" Focuser with Motor Auto-Focus Focal Reducer: Orion .8 Focal Reducer Mount: Celestron CGX Polar Alignment: QHYCCD PoleMaster Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool Frames: Astronomik Ha: 156x240" (gain: 139 offset: 21) Astronomik OIII: 81x240" (gain: 75, offset: 15) Integration: 15.8 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/371326/0/

This is during my imaging session the previous night. I've already had too many close encounters with this skunk. It's going to get me one of these days.

The weather finally broke and I was able to complete the Cave Nebula after collecting the first light on it around 3 weeks ago. Ha and SII were very strong, but OIII was weak so it took some extra processing work to bring it out.

Astrophotography with a DSLR camera and telescope In this video, I use the William Optics Zenithstar 73 APO to photograph two nebulae in the night sky with my Canon camera.

Bubble Nebula NGC 7635, Lobster Claw Nebula SH2 - 127, Salt and Pepper Cluster | Astrophotography I tried to take Sh2-157 Lobster Claw and The Bubble Nebula NGC 7635 in narrowband. This is my official attempt to use pixelmath in pixinsight and mixing color in narrowband. It is a quite a complex workflow than I thought. Also very difficult to get more detail data unless I spend several hours. Overall I spend 3 hours capturing between Ha and OIII. I used Celestron 8SE SCT with Hyperstar from Starizona on AVX mount. Imaging camera zwo 1600 mm pro. I will upload on my youtube channel Ray's Astrophotography all the details about my workflow. Feel free to check it out.

We've had a very good run of clear skies lately, so I've been able to grab 20 plus hours on another deep sky object. But this one is not the brightest object around and the OIII and SII were not strong. But I like this target - it looks like a laser beam is shooting out from the center. Here is more info on the hardware and software: Target: SH2-132 in the Hubble Palette Imaging Telescope: Explore Scientific 127mm ED Refractor (952 focal length) Focuser: MoonLite 2.5" Focuser with Motor Auto-Focus Focal Reducer: Orion .8 Focal Reducer Mount: Celestron CGX Polar Alignment: QHYCCD PoleMaster Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool Frames: Astronomik Ha: 141x240" (gain: 139.00, offset: 21) Astronomik OIII: 90x240" (gain: 75.00, offset: 15) Astronimik SII: 90x240" (gain: 139.00, offset: 21) Integration: 21.4 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/367567/B/

Terry Robison will discuss challenges, expectations, equipment requirements and considerations, power, comms, and protection of equipment of remote observatories.

Automatic Focus for Celestron 8SE SCT or Hyperstar Autofocus - Part2 Most often when you focus using the regular or stock focus knob that comes with your Celestron 8SE SCT or your telescope, it is quite difficult to manually make very fine adjustments. Also it is more difficult to make these adjustments without causing any movement to your telescope or mount, however finer adjustments they can be. My solution using JMI Autofocus is a step in the right direction to provide you an automatic solution to have autofocus for your telescope. In this video, I will explain how to setup an Autofocuser to automatically focus for Celestron 8SE SCT. This is also useful if you are using Hyperstar from Starizona. This is Part2 of the video. | Astrophotography Links I was referring in the video: 1) MOTOFOCUS for Celestron C8 / C9¼ http://www.jimsmobile.com/buy_motofocus.htm#Celestron 2) JMI Telescopes MOTOFOCUS Electric Telescope Focusing Motor - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Shop-by-Brand-JMI-Telescopes/ci/4/phd/4291398571/N/4294255798 3) DC Focus Motor Control, FCUSB and FocusPal http://www.store.shoestringastronomy.com/products_fc.htm Please feel free to comment and provide me the feedback.

Join us for a Milky Way Workshop in 2019! https://goo.gl/n3bHzk Go to Goblin Valley: https://goo.gl/mbFAeP Go to Escalante: https://goo.gl/qNpEKp Go to Crater Lake: https://goo.gl/iXnfzD Milky Way Photography in Bandon, Oregon over the Facerock State Viewpoint delivers successfully two years in a row! The challenge this year on the beaches of Bandon was that the tide was not out as far as it was last year despite being near a New Moon. So we had more water between us and the Sea Stacks. But the Milky Way lined up over them as promised by Photo Pills and I have a time-lapse to show the entire evening of Milky Way Movement! Having arrived that morning flying in to Portland and then driving the 5-hours to Bandon, I was flat-out exhausted! Not to mention I have been out 11 nights in a row doing Milky Way Photography and staying up to finish photo edits, instagram posting and not getting more than a few hours of sleep every night. So after the sunset we crashed in the car at Facerock Viewpoint to wait for 1am when the Milky Way would start to move away from the light pollution of the coast and be out over the water. Being so exhausted I decided against wearing my NRS Boundary Socks and Keens and went down the steps to the beach with my favorite Skechers that people have been making fun of me for wearing on all my Photog Adventures 😀 and calling them slippers. This turned out to be a fatal error as a far-reaching wave crashed suddenly MUCH further than the previous while I was working on my shot and drenched my shoes and legs up to my knees almost! The favorite Skechers were drenched and remained soaked for days! You really miss the dry desert air of Utah when you have soggy shoes that never dry in the humidity of Oregon… Night 13 we get creative trying out a location next to Thor’s Well that has a blast of water called the Spouting Horn in Cook’s Chasm that could align well with an early morning Milky Way!

Join us for a Milky Way Workshop in 2019! https://goo.gl/n3bHzk Go to Goblin Valley: https://goo.gl/mbFAeP Go to Escalante: https://goo.gl/qNpEKp Go to Crater Lake: https://goo.gl/iXnfzD We had a flight in the morning at 6am so we needed our Milky Way Photography forNight 11 to be very simple and very close to Brendon’s house. So we headed up to Silver Lake near the Brighton Ski Resort up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Silver Lake provides a good reflection opportunity for the Milky Way and we were lucky to have a very still night and yet AGAIN a cloudless sky to capture the Milky Way with! Brighton Resort gives off some local light pollution but that is luckily blocked by the trees on the shoreline of the lake that keeps the lights from ruining the reflection of stars. Usually local light pollution is a drag but this time it lit up the mountains in the distance and kept them from being a black silhouette only and I am really liking that! Keep checking back on the adventure as I go for 23 straight nights of Milky Way Photography! Night 12 we make it out to Bandon, Oregon and get a chance to capture the Milky Way over Facerock State Viewpoint!
