 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 with a collection of about 12 telescopes, including the SCA310, Astro-Physics 155 EDF Starfire, TEC 180FL, and Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, and my beloved FSQ-106EDX4. Paired with advanced imaging systems - including the medium-format ZWO ASI461MM and ASI6200MM Pro with Chroma filters - these precision instruments help me reveal the faint structures, rich colors, and extraordinary detail hidden in the night sky. |
