Astrophotography of the Pleiades

Astrophotography of the Pleiades

Another rework, Pleiades with the brand new Pixinsight 1.9.0 Lockhart <3 the new MultiscaleGradientCorrection is really cool. Anyway i don't recall anything about acquisition data sorry, only that it was in 2021, second picture is the "original".

Astrophotography of M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy

Astrophotography of M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy

I present you one of my first LRGB attempt, M51, with a quick rework on pixinsight, 2nd picture is my "original".
I find both ugly but it shows how processing can really make the difference.
Originals files were full of noise and only kept LRGB masters to work on.

Here is a new take on my Heart nebula, IC 1805. Same old data reworked with some new pixinsight tools and knowledge.

Depending of your time zone this is my last post, or the first one of the year.
Anyway happy new year, here is the Pelican Nebula IC 5070 ~11h SHO May 2023.

I almost have posted everything i shot the last few years, gonna need some clear night skies to bring you new pictures !

Astrophotography of NGC 896, it's a part of a larger one, the heart nebula ic 1805

One of my first narrowband photography, NGC 896, it's a part of the Heart nebula IC1805. Acquisition was with my previous telescope (SW 150/750), if you look at my first post you'll see the "whole" Heart nebula that i took with another telescope that have a larger FOV (WO Zenithstar 81).

Astrophotography of the Orion nebula, M42

Really disappointed with this (Orion nebula, M42) a narrowband acquisition mid november 2020 before upgrading my telescope, almost deleted everything with this washed out center (go see my previous M42 take...)
But live and learn as they say, processed it as good as i could, till the next take !

Close up picture of the moon and it's craters

Close up photography of the Moon (or Luna, imo way cooler😎)
Shot with my DSLR on a Skywatcher 150/750 march 2020.

Astrophotography of the Orion nebula, or M42

Orion nebula, or M42, single exposure back in december 2018, DSLR (canon 800D)
It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0. (Ty wikipedia)

The andromeda galaxy

The andromeda galaxy

Here are two of my shots of the Andromeda galaxy :
First one is from narrowband, galaxies are not suited for NB imaging, it was a test in a high light polluted area with 11h30 of acquisition.
2nd one is a long exposure (3min) with a DSLR in a less light polluted area.
