Moon 26/27.12.2017

-
Here are two photos of Moon, one from 26th of december and the other one from 27th. The phase on 26th was 54% and on 27th 64%. This phase is called Waxing Gibbous :) synta 6" on dobson mount, Canon EOS 1300D. Of course, near Warsaw's border. ISO and exposure time doesn't really matters as it depends on exact moment and place :/ I also tried catching earthshine, but with no success... Earthshine is earths light reflected on Moon which makes the unlighten side visible a tiny bit. I will try using something like a coronograph to hide lighten side next time (idea I got today, not sure if it's gonna work)
 54%
64%
Earthshine catch try: if you look closely you can see it, but it's not what I want to get :/

A daytime adventure: the Sun, including AR3780 - 10/08/2024

  Hi! Gradually processing last summer's data, I've arrived at a folder I intially dreaded processing.. "08-10-Sun" I usually don't like processing planetary much.. the whole process often felt messy to me, especially as when I tried processing some of this data with AutoStakkert!3 and RegiStax6 a few months back, there have been some issues..  However, I was since then recommended another program called AstroSurface, which I personally find much nicer to use! (while Registax is quite old and not updated, I feel like AstroSurface vs AS!3/AS!4 is pretty much personal preference?)  Not only did the processing go very well, I actually really like the final result! Funny enough, the best stack came from a clip that initially didn't look that good seeing-wise!      I went thru all the clips I collected that day. Some of them I took with a 2x barlow lens, while others I've just imaged native (1200mm focal lenght), the native focal lenght clips seemed to come out...

Ring Nebula - 06/07/2024 - Reprocess!

  Hello!  I've finished imaging for the summer season - unfortunately, I won't be able to image much thru my telescope until the next summer, I go to uni about 350km away from my scope, and due to me living in the middle of a large city there, there is not point to bring my scope with me unfortunately, due to light pollution and buildings obstructing the view.. and now during September, I'm going on vacation and probably won't have any opportunities to use my scope :/ I am however hoping to shoot some cool space pics with just my DSLR and a tripod on the trip! I've learnt a LOT during this summer season, my gear has evolved too! I've captured a lot of data thruout the last several weeks but honestly I haven't really properly edited any of it, so over the next several weeks I'm planning on processing all those images and gradually posting them in here! With that said, I've decided to revisit the target that I opened the season with - the Ring Nebula. ...

Hello! Those of you who are following my little science channel (that kinda stopped some time ago, but I'll try bringing it back to life!) already seen the timelapse, but that is not the only thing I have in here! First, the milkyway selfie :D This is a single just a single frame taken from the tripod! I later also adjusted it in a lightroom-like program that came with my camera. I adjusted it to two versions: one with milkyway visible nicely and another with the rest. Then, I connected them together in paint.net getting this image :) I've gotta say, standing still for 30 seconds is hard while being eaten by mosquitoes... 1x30s ISO 3200 Canon 1300D kit lense + tripod Next up: Milky way timelapse! That's the one you could have seen on youtube. This shows 10 minutes of Milky way movement on the sky as well as some meteors. Each frame is 30 seconds and there are 20 frames, all adjusted in that canon lightroom-like program and then put together into a video in vegas ...
