My second astrophotography photo ever!
Equipment: Red cat 51 WIFD ZWO ASIAIR MINI ZWO ASI533MC PRO WO 32mm Guide scope ZWO asi120mm Guide Camera Processed in pixinsight
35 120s subs + 24 180s subs
No calibration frames due to limited time in the campground.
lused a Celestron DX130 and captured it with an iPhone 14, used a really crude autostacker app and tweaked the photo settings in the photos app. My best of Jupiter so far and l'm really surprised I got the spot with the size of my scope
Definitely not ideal conditions, it was cloudy, and I was 5 feet from a lamp post, this was mostly just a test to see if everything worked, and it did! It's a first step, and I hope to learn image processing so I can do much more!
This is my first astrophotography photo, I took it on November 9th outside of Reno, NV. I used a Celestron Nextar 8se and a ZWO 678mc. For processing I just used ASIStudio, but I’d love tips on how to improve. ASIStudio just seemed super beginner friendly.
Any tips welcomed!
