Welcome to the board! Nice images, how much light did you collect for each?

Nerull · 02-26-2009, 06:27 PM

10x20 seconds for the first, 80 seconds for the second.

Ok so today i had clear skies for the first time in about 3 weeks,
and i finnaly could photograph comet Lulin.

I've also learned where dwarf planet Ceres is.
I've shot them both at around 21:00 UTC (20:00 local time) and later around 2:00 UTC (1:00 local)
You can see Lulin moved much

And i was suprised to see Ceres moved too.

Nice animation and nice capture of Ceres! I just redid my latest Lulin image from 2-24 by using the "stack on stars + comet" feature of Deep Sky Stacker and then used an HDR program to tonemap the result.

Taken with a Canon XTi and 8" LX200. 32 individual 1 minute exposures at ISO 1600 and unguided at f/10.

Great pictures. I would love to make some pictures too but thanks to the greenhouses that isn't going to work.

Here's my set-up (my baby) that I use for ISS photography as well as deep space imaging.

McWgogs · 03-10-2009, 12:11 PM

Yesterdays Saturn:
About 30 stacked photos
Not so great due to seeing.

**Yoda** · 03-16-2009, 11:47 AM

I've recently boughtt a Orion deep space imager II and was tinkering with it a bit yesterday with M42.
The following result isn't too shabby for a 80 second exposure using a 102 MM guide refractor.

Scrooge McDuck · 03-16-2009, 12:30 PM

That's an astonishing shot of the Orion nebula Yoda, Heel mooi!

**Yoda** · 03-16-2009, 12:55 PM

Dank je wel, Ik zal wat meer foto's "posten" de komende dagen.

McWgogs · 03-18-2009, 06:45 PM

My first try on the ISS through a telescope,
ISO was 1250 and exposure was 1/640s
Next time I'll use a lower ISO, these are slightly overexposed.

Can anyone identify the features?
It was a low flyby, maxing at around 30 degrees. So this should be the side of the station.
It seems that the solar panels go from upper left to lower right, however I'm not sure.
