Milkyway selfie, panorama and timelapse! 6/7.8.2018

-
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...

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 pro 14.

...and the last one for this post: the panorama! To be honest it was a total test, I just thought I want to try and make a panorama and shoot pictures all round... then on the PC adjusted every picture in a program and then a program called Hugin put it together into a panorama. It turned out way better than I expected!

The Grand Return: Ring Nebula - 06/07/2024

Hello!   Welcome, after a long long time.. Over 5 years and 10 months of no posts.. I haven't been doing astrophotography over the years due to mental health reasons.. but I am now back, and better than ever! MUCH better in fact! I can't believe how many mistakes I've been making in the past! Current situation: I'm currently upgrading my gear, so my setup is quite cursed right now.. I recently bought an Orion Mini 50mm guide scope, a ZWO ASI462MM camera, and an OnStep upgrade kit for my EQ-5 mount. The last one, unforunately, has not arrived yet.. but I really wanted to try out the camera and guidescope! So last night I tried using the telescope by using the guidescope with the cam as basically an electronic finderscope, and then once on target - I moved the camera from the guidescope to the main scope.. which was kind of a problem, because of focusing and the telescope moving ever so slightly! The FOV of my telescope with that camera is super narrow, so hitting the tar...

 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! Yesterday I got a chance to try out my webcam that I modded for astrophoto. I am on vacation in italy at the moment, the planets are higher in the sky here so I get less atmospheric disturbance. Gotta say, the webcam was a great investment :) I might try again tonight tho, with barlow so I can get a better res :D Mars isn't as good tho, I'll try to get a better one tonight :) Skywatcher 150/1200 on EQ-5 with 1 axis drive Modified Logitech C270 Infrared filter
