The Great Orion Nebula
I have been looking at my data recorded of M42 the Great Orion Nebula once more sasdasda
M45 – Pleiades once again
This time around the image has more integration time and better tracking, resulting in a clearer image. That night I decided to point my lens at M45 again. However, I had to cut the night short so I did not have time to obtain calibration frames, to properly calibrate the image. Hence I did 60-second …
The horsehead nebula
By now I have been out a few nights and I feel like I am getting familiar with setting up the Sky Watcher – Star Adventurer GTi mount and my trusty old Nikon z5 with the Tamron 150 – 600 mm optics. Having photographed the obvious choices first I decided to attempt to challenge myself …
M33
Second object photographed
Pleiades version 2.0
After observing M45, the Pleiades, with an increased focal length, a comparison was made between the initial and new cropped images using a Tamron lens and Nikon Z5. Improved photo quality was achieved with the GradientXterminator plugin despite the gradient caused by Bortle class 4 lighting. The star sharpness also improved after removing a stuck UV filter. The night’s work was satisfactory, capturing images of the nearby Pleiades cluster, notable for its middle-aged B-type stars.
First light on new rig
The post describes testing a new Sky Watcher Star Adventurer GTi to photograph the Pleiades with a Nikon Z5 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens. However, the author encountered elongation issues with the stars due to a stuck UV filter on the lens. Despite efforts in Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop, the problem persisted.
Observations with FUT
In 2023, I conducted observations with the FUT, a remotely operated telescope at Mt. Kent in Australia. It enables Danish students to observe stars in real-time during classes, enhancing their learning experience.
