Earthshine Moon and ocean

-
Hi again! It took a while since last post but I am currently on holidays on canary islands (spain). Once I come back, I will make small Moon animation/gif.

Today, which is january 19th, I had oppurtunity to catch earthshine again. It turned out great! :D Today, same as yesterday, earthshine was visible even with naked eye! I couldn't take photos yesterday as I forgot to take my DSLR when going for a walk in the evening :/ also, this time I played with lightroom a bit :)

 Hello! Let's take a look at things not working out.. and not in an obvious way too! On the night I imaged Saturn , I also tried imaging the Whirlpool Galaxy - one of if not THE favorite target of mine! It's not really a difficult target, be it to find or photograph.. I mean, I took a cool image of it years ago back when I was doing pretty much everything wrong! But anyway, I was still waiting for my OnStep kit to arrive and was super curious about trying out the ZWO asi462mm camera, as this was my first time experiencing a dedicated astrocam and I couldn't use it for guiding until OnStep arrived anyway.. I checked, and the Whirlpool Galaxy fit in my FOV just about perfectly!  screenshot from https://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/ It wasn't gonna be easy to locate with the telescope, and at that super narrow FOV of course I had to get a really dope polar alignment and had to pay attention so that it doesn't drift out of frame.. But I managed to do that! ...

Hello! In Last post I said I will try catching ISS again soon and I did! Today, for the first time I tried catching it thru my telescope and I succeed! As for the first time I think it turned out great! Of course it's nothing like the other pics of ISS but still good for begginning! :D Those are two best frames I got :) Camera: Canon 1300d (not phone! Turns out I get similar quality and zoom with DSLR on full res as with my most powerful eyepiece and phone!) ISO:1600 Exposure:1/1600s Location: Warsaw Here are two best frames and reference picture from mobile app Star Walk 2 (very useful!) Here is worse frame, but it shows structures of the solar panels nicely:

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. ...
