Ah… this was captured with my Hyperstar, and I didn’t compensate. With it I remove the secondary mirror from my EdgeHD and replace it with my camera, so the image gets flipped. I have to flip the image to get many software tools to understand the image.

People don’t follow text these days, only links. Feels like the responsible thing to do on social media is to help those you borrow from.

It feels a bit like stealing when you don’t link back to the image owner. @astrobackyard.bsky.social

Funny, I saw the exact thing in the same place.

Love the desert nights. The sky was ok last night, but not perfect. Clouded near the horizon.

After posting this here... I saw it on another device, and noticed it had a green cast, so I took another run at it to strip that out. These sensors seem to bias more green than desired.

Thank you! It’s an endless journey to try to get that right.

Thanks Justin. Very nice of you to say.
