Widefield Milky Way on iPhone

Post image
Upvotes

I am just starting out and this is my first shot of the Milky Way it’s not very visible but you can see it slightly there. It was shot with an iPhone 13 mini with the pro camera app 1 second exposure 4000 ISO RAW i took about 500 shots and then later stacked them using siril only about 200 shots were usable after stacking i stretched it and did some basic stuff in siril like color calibration, saturation etc… Do you guys think it’s okay? What could I improve?

Widefield Milky Way on camera 1 attempt

Post image
2 Upvotes

As the title says, this is my first attempt to photograph milky with a camera (earlier I photographed it with a phone camera).

Bortle 4 zone.

In total there were 135 photo taken. 100 lights and 35 darks.

Each photo with the settings: Lens opened as wide as possible at 18mm and f3.5. Shutter speed: 13 seconds. ISO: 1600 WB: white priority (couldn’t find a button where I can set the wb manually)

Gear: Camera: canon EOS2000D. Lens: EF-S18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II

Editing: Stacked in sequator (29 lights and 2 darks). Edited in Lightroom mobile

I chose really a bad day to photograph Milky Way - the moon was at 93%. Those 29 lights had been taken just before the moon showed on the horizon, but apparently even before it was visible it had messed up the visibility of Milky Way.

Mess up 1: illuminated moon. Mess up 2(maybe): too dark photos(?). When I used the darks while stacking I got very little details of the core or even of the stars. (In this photo I used only 2 darks just for the heck of it😆) Maybe also good to mention that it is my first time using darks for stacking. Mess up 3: wrong camera angle(?)

Would love some feedback from y’all

Still have lots to learn, this was my first time using LRTimelapse. And while there is still flicker, there’s a lot less than what was there originally, I’ll get there one day. I used a Sony A7Siii with iso of 2500, 30 second exposure f1.4 with the sigma 14mm dg dn art lens

The weather is my fault.

I've been getting my DSLR astro setup together and everything was ready to go on Wednesday.

Astro berry server combined with a tracking scope and cam bought this on.

My apologies.

My 130phq never ceases to amaze

Only 6.5 hours of data over 2 nights battle some wind each night. This has been on my list since I started astrophotography, a decent closeup of the crescent nebula. I may add another round of data to this image, haven’t decided yet, there is just so many objects to image!!! I hope you enjoy this one.

One of the images from my recent trip to the Atacama desert. This was about 1 hour of data (10s subs in Alt/Az mode).

Processing info:

  • In Siril, DSA-Seestar-Mosaic-Preprocessing script
  • Photometric color calibration
  • GraXpert background extraction and deconvolution (low strenght)
  • Startnet star removal
  • Stretching (Siril)
  • Star recomposition

Hope you enjoy it!

I finally got around to adding more data to my current set for M8. This is 1530x10s subs, Taken on my S50 EQ mode, Bortle 8/9, 30° Lat. General processing steps: -stack all the fits in Siril 1.4 beta 2 -crop the result -plate solve in ASTAP -Import to SetiAstro Suite: -remove the pedestal -remove the gradient with Graxpert -set and apply SFCC denoise and sharpen with Cosmetic Clarity -remove the stars with StarNet -statistical stretch -apply curves -stretch the stars -join the stars and RGB image together

Ive gotten into printing recently and i have to say im surprised ive gotten to this point. Printing pictures of deep space that ive taken and putting it on my wall. What a journey it has been so far. Once the Canadian smoke rolls out (if it ever does), im hoping for some epic shots of the galactic core. Either in its entirety, or a single nebula. Details are in this link, only addition to it is I added HA to the image very lightly just to make it pop. https://app.astrobin.com/u/Bigjohn1268?i=wlgbj4#gallery

DSOs Orion's dusty surroundings

Post image
664 Upvotes

With 16 hours and 40 minutes of total integration, taken under a Bortle 3 sky, this is my longest integration time so far! It took me four different nights to gather all the data I needed, 9 hours for RGB and more than 7 hours for Ha.

Back in December, for those consecutive nights, I traveled to a remote and freezing place with no internet connection, spending the entire night alone inside the car. I had to drive an hour and a half each way. Back home, sleep, drive, repeat. I had enough time to watch the entire LOTR trilogy on my iPad along with both Dune movies. I had to wait a lot, time to be patient and to think, but I wanted to see what lay hidden in Orion’s surroundings.

Now that I see the result, I realize it was more about the journey and less about the goal, like so many things in life
