on *Permanently Deleted* · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yIsn't it a little close to the fence? When I built my "astronomy deck", I built it up so that I could see above the fences.
on Moderation of the sub/magaizine · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yI would love to join you moderating this sub!
on *Permanently Deleted* · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yNice work! Have you tried star removal yet? It would be awesome on this image.
on Tonight’s dual telescope setup · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yA lot unfortunately. I've got just under $20K Canadian invested. Many of the most expensive pieces (the big scope and the big mount) I was able to buy at a discount used on FB marketplace, so that saved a lot.
on Orion's belt and nebula · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yThis was infinitely better than my first attempt at astrophotography.
on Orion's belt and nebula · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yYou have the horsehead nebula in the upper middle/leff as well! Nice capture! This is a great start.
on *Permanently Deleted* · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yThat is excellent for an unguided capture with a non-astrophotography camera! Great work!
on *Permanently Deleted* · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yYeah, I find the worse is astrobin, where you can see the pic of the day and they used a 24" PlaneWave OTA. Yikes. https://planewave.com/product/cdk24-ota/
on *Permanently Deleted* · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yNice work!I want to use Siril more for processing.
on PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy · c/fediverse · 28 pts · 3y my signup because this all probably is going to China. China is sophisticated enough that it can vacuum up all the information it wants about without any involvement of a Lemmy.lm admin.
on Dumbbell Planetary Nebula (Messier 27) · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yI was trying to match the color palette of this beautiful image I saw from the Very Large Telescope project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbbell_Nebula#/media/File:M27_-_Dumbbell_Nebula.jpg

on Ring Planetary Nebula (Messier 57) · c/astrophotography · 2 pts · 3yThank you! William Optics Flourostar 132mm refractor on a Sky Watcher EQ6R-Pro. It is a large and heavy scope I picked up used from FB marketplace.
on M82 - Captured 2023-06-18 · c/astrophotography · 1 pts · 3yBode's galaxy. Nice! Can you control how long you integrate for on the Vespara? How long was this integration?
on M31 · c/astrophotography · 2 pts · 3yNot bad for a simple DSLR + star tracker setup. That setup is just hard to manage. I started there too.
