Not many new images this year but I have reprocessed a lot of data from previous years now I have bought #PixInsight the only new ones are the Elephants Trunk Nebula and the Soul Nebula. The weather has been so bad this year #Astrophotography

Jonny, thank you for answering questions! I’ve had a busy morning and just came around to seeing the activity.

It started becoming more challenging to shoot from my location, too, and I’m under Bortle 5 skies. You can still image from the city with narrowband filters but even using those under Bortle 1 where my gear is now has made a huge difference.

Thank you! I’m using a William Optics ZenithStar 61 II with a 0.8x reducer to get the FL down from 360mm to 288mm. I’m using a ZWO ASI294MM-Pro astronomy camera.

Thanks! I think moving forward I’m gonna start doing two edits for my data then pick the best one. I’m always wary of over-stretching the data.

Sadly it’s a simple reality many people will never experience in their lives, and light pollution’s only getting worse. It was one of the reasons I sent my rig to SFRO.

That’s their secret, Dylan. They’re always angry.

I’ll do you one better and drop a video of my rig. I’ve since relocated it to StarFront Observatories.
