 Joined 6/24/2024 Loc: Mo, USA | Posted 9/1/2026 8:45:37 AM CST I took 300 frames of Heart Nebula last night in Mosaic mode. I didn't get my polar alignment very good so around 50 frames were rejected. Still, this shot (again) came out pretty nice. 250 frames, 60 seconds Equatorial mode 3/4 moon Seestar stacked and aligned Exported to Photoshop where I removed the stars, did some additional processing through layers, slight masking, and unsharp masking - that was it. Yes, this really came off the S50 Pro.. I didn't invent colors, I didn't use BlurExterminator, etc
Explorer of the cosmos, one photon at a time. I capture the universe using an arsenal of 12 telescopes including the TEC 180FL, Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4, and Takahashi TOA-130, paired with elite imaging systems like the ZWO 6200MM Pro with Chroma filters, ZWO 2600MM, and the ATIK 16200 HPS-C. |
