AstroStace

Thank you 😊

I hope so 🙂 next I want to get out with my Pentax a bit more!

Thanks so much Gina 🙂

Just a bit of channel manipulation my end really. I wanted to be a bit different 🙂 it is HOO...but in the end it actually ended up looking a bit more HSO (but without the sulphur!) 🙂

This here is the Rosette Nebula. It lies at a distance of 5000 light years from Earth and is pretty spectacular if i do say so!! This is first light for me using one of altairs new mono cameras, and one of my first astro images in a long time (as i completely lost my mojo). Altair 72EDF + 1x flat, Altair Hypercam 115M Pro Tec, Altair NB filters, EQ6-R pro 30x 240s Ha + 36x 240s O[III] + darks. stacked in APP processed in Photoshop

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Completely understand the whole small writing thing, maybe I’ll have to do some system adjustments next time 🙂 Definitely tried to say what I was doing as I went along so hopefully that helped a bit 🙂

Hey everyone! popping this in the beginner section, hope it helps! ive tried to keep it as simple as possible 🙂 Beginner photoshop astrophotography tutorial

Here's a dark from the 26C :)

Lots of interesting replies here, thank you all! CCD is here for the moment i feel. I wonder how long it will take current manufacturers to go through the 'last crop' so to speak

here’s the rig I’m currently using at the moment :) Altair Ascent 102ed altair 60mm guidescope gpcam 290c Altair hypercam 26C ProTec Altair filter drawer Pegasus pocket powerbox skywatcher eq6-r pro mini-x mini pc I have a 72edf scope too, but at the moment the 102 is fast becoming my favourite ? hope we get some more clear skies soon!

Welcome :)

Welcome Paul! :)

I keep telling myself i'm going to start painting, but never get around to it. Maybe i need to order some stuff and actually give it a go. I wonder if Luna would sit still enough for me to paint her ?

Also wanted to pose the question, do we think CCD on the whole is on limited time in Astrophotography? I know a lot of the CCD chip manufacturers have ceased production.
