Partial Solar eclipse from France today.
Warning : never look or point equipments (camera, scope, lense....) without a Solar filter, you can hurt/burn yourself and ruin your camera.

Another rework, Pleiades with the brand new Pixinsight 1.9.0 Lockhart <3 the new MultiscaleGradientCorrection is really cool. Anyway i don't recall anything about acquisition data sorry, only that it was in 2021, second picture is the "original".

I present you one of my first LRGB attempt, M51, with a quick rework on pixinsight, 2nd picture is my "original".
I find both ugly but it shows how processing can really make the difference.
Originals files were full of noise and only kept LRGB masters to work on.

Depending of your time zone this is my last post, or the first one of the year.
Anyway happy new year, here is the Pelican Nebula IC 5070 ~11h SHO May 2023.
I almost have posted everything i shot the last few years, gonna need some clear night skies to bring you new pictures !

One of my first narrowband photography, NGC 896, it's a part of the Heart nebula IC1805. Acquisition was with my previous telescope (SW 150/750), if you look at my first post you'll see the "whole" Heart nebula that i took with another telescope that have a larger FOV (WO Zenithstar 81).

Really disappointed with this (Orion nebula, M42) a narrowband acquisition mid november 2020 before upgrading my telescope, almost deleted everything with this washed out center (go see my previous M42 take...)
But live and learn as they say, processed it as good as i could, till the next take !

Here are two of my shots of the Andromeda galaxy :
First one is from narrowband, galaxies are not suited for NB imaging, it was a test in a high light polluted area with 11h30 of acquisition.
2nd one is a long exposure (3min) with a DSLR in a less light polluted area.
