This was my first attempt playing with the curves in the app. Hope you enjoy

New to the Astro photography. I wanted to try capturing earth shine, I think I did an okay job. I used a Nikon D3200 with a Nikorr 70-300mm lens 10 seconds exposure, I can’t remember the f. But it was high. Used iPhone for brightness and saturation, but no other editing.

A cosmic masterpiece: Orion’s Belt and its hidden wonders! From the glowing Horsehead nebula to the majestic Orion Nebula, this region of the sky is a true astrophotographer’s dream.

Recently bought a DSLR, a canon rebel t7, single image exposure. Uncertain of my exact settings, but I believe it was 100 ISO and around 1/10 second exposure.

Processed in astrosurface.

Taken through my 114/900 Hadley untracked.

The Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) is an H II region located approximately 12,400 light-years away in the northern constellation Auriga. The nebula is more than 100 light-years across. It is part of a larger star-forming region that is also home to the nearby Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405).

First of few images that have literally taken months to gather enough data. The clouds have been brutal this Winter in NE Ohio.

The framing is not what I was after as I was figuring out how to setup my rotator properly. One night was off by about 45 degrees. But couldn't afford to lose the data. This is a SHO with Narrowband Normalization.

Such an elusive galaxy.. IC 342 or C5, The Hidden Galaxy, got its name from the fact that it stands behind concentrated dust above the galactic equator, so its brightness is dimmed down.

Preprocessing in Lightroom, stacked in sequator, further edited in Photoshop and Pixinsight. I had to (VERY) carefully fix all the small gradients, do a complicated denoising technique (no AI), calibrate the color channels. Even the stars that barely showed up on live preview, were over-the-top after stretching and had to reduce their size lol.

Something about the first pic with it just suspended in darkness makes it one of my favorite photos I’ve taken.

Taken with iPhone camera through 20mm lens’s with a 2x Barlow zoom lens. 6” refractor scope.

Equipment: 10 inch Apertura Newtonian mounted on a Celestron CGX-L. No auto guiding, just sidereal tracking.

Camera: Canon R8
