    Most stars I seen from the middle of Vancouver

    I swear that cluster on the right towards the lower half of the photo looks like a baby chick! 🐤 or penguin lol. But last night was the first time I’ve been able to see so many stars this clearly with night mode on, despite being in the middle of the city with tons of light pollution!

    Taken with my iPhone 16.

    Crescent Moon and Venus setting over the mountains from my balcony.

    Wish I had my dslr but the battery is dead right now, so this was the best I could get with my phone. They were super bright and evocative irl, made me understand the inspiration really for that symbol on flags. 🌙 ⭐️

    Another [better] shot on how Proxima b might look (icy terminator line, thin atmosphere, reddish sunlight). The canyons are inspired by the Valles Marineris on Mars. My render

    First time using MSM - Andromeda

    31 Dec 2024 - Žalec, Slovenia Deepscape / stacked 176x45sec lights 17x45sec darks Sony A7II Nikorr 70-210 4-5.6 @210mm & f5.6 (via MF converter) Move Shoot Move Nomad

    After having the MSM Nomad at home for a month without getting a chance to try it out, the winter holidays made for perfect weather to try and learn how to use the tracker. Three nights of playing and learning, and then good weather for the last day of the year. I took the opportunity to put the camera on the terrace, find Andromeda and burn through three batteries by 11pm. Stacked and stretched in Siril,following the guide from Siril, then crop and basic processing in Adobe Lightroom and Radiant Photo. First slightly more serious attempt at this kind of photography and processing, the right choice to finish 2024 🙂

    From a village in India

    Idk what i did, clicked it from my S22+'s raw mode(different from pro mode) set it to automatic astrophotography and long exposure of 5mins. Clicked three, bought subscription of LrC and Ps and literally learned how to. Edited and then layered three images. My first ever attempt to literally everything, tips and guidance are welcome.

    After a Year of Waiting, I Finally Captured Phobos and Deimos: Mars’s two moons. They’re as big as Manhattan Island and are 100 million km away.

    Celestron 9.25, ASI662MC, UV/IR Cut Filter. 2 x 3 minutes derotated on WinJupos, processed on Registax6 and Lightroom. Did 30ms and 400 gain on the moons to expose them enough.
