Deep Sky Ash

Taking pictures of space and learning Astrophotography/Photoshop…one steep learning curve at a time from Bortle 6 skies 😁

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

Happy #WorldHeartDay all. A lot of love and heart (pun intended) went into this one. The #heart #nebula #IC1805 located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. 1st time imaging & editing this. A Big thanks to @Vaillant0879 for the super YouTube vids. @Celestron @celestronuk #RASA8 🤙🏽

Something a bit different for me. Milky Way from Tan Hill 8 August. Bortle 3 at the zenith, with some lovely distant light pollution
1st test out of my Canon R6 & Samyang 14mm lens at f/2.8, stars at the edges rescued by BlurXT v2
Don't throw away those crappy lenses just yet!

@clarkjames70 Lovely shot James 👌

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

I love the fact that you are always learning new things in Astrophotography. Same data but 1 year older…and slightly wiser I hope. 😉 A bit of an improvement here if I do say so myself. #Astrophotography @WilliamOptics @zwoasi #M42 #space #IC434

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

First light with the @WilliamOptics red cat 51 on #M42 & #IC434 In the constellation #Orion some 1,350-1,500 light years away. Nice to get back on it after a busy few months just in time to share something special for #ValentinesDay2022 😁#astrophotography #space

This is one of those times when you look at an image before finishing it and think.....”Nah, you can keep your stars and I’ll just have the nebulosity” 😆 Data from ⁦@TelescopeLiveHQ⁩ and edited by me. ⁦@SkyandTelescope⁩ ⁦@AstronomyNow⁩ #astrophotography

I really love the contrast of bright glowing gas and dark dusty regions surrounding the impressive Iris Nebula, in the constellation of Cepheus…I shot this composition from my backyard in Scotland…🔭📸✨ #Astrophotography #Space #ThePhotoHour @zwoasi @TeleskopService @SkyWatcherUSA @skyatnightmag @BBCStargazing

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@ScotiaAstro @zwoasi @TeleskopService Great shot mate. It's on my list but the skies haven't been kind of late 😂

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@AndyW_Astro Yeah the FR is normally on back order at most places. I managed to pick one up second-hand that was a few weeks old. Just need the skies to clear up more now.

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@AndyW_Astro Lol! very true. I've got the focal reducer also.

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@AndyW_Astro Got one myself fairly recently. The swiss army knife of optical tubes 👍

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@Quant_Analyst This terrifies me Peter 😫 I haven't used my Hyoerstar yet on my Edge HD 11. 😬😬

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@sajjadahmed1 Very nice 👍🙌

@clarkjames70 Very nice James. I tried it last year at 400mm (wider field) but the colours were so far off before pre-processing across the two nights I ended up scrapping it. 😆 I had much better luck with the one at 1960mm 🤪

[James Clark @clarkjames70]

Pleased to present the Whirlpool Galaxy - probably 30mn light years away, tho some sources say 23mn

What an amazing object!

I added 28h of HaLRGB mono data to 22h of OSC data from last year for this image

@KevinAstrokev Cracking first light Kevin 🙌👍

[Kevin Earp 🔭🌜☀️🪐⭐ @KevinAstrokev]

First light on the EdgeHD 8.
A quick process of 10 x 120s subs.

Quite pleased as a first go, with only 20mins integration.

Full frame, no cropping.
No cal files.

@deelle22 @Celestron @zwoasi I went for the Celestron OAG as it has the 12mm prism on it 👍

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

FINALLY! 1st time using the @Celestron Edge HD11” to image inc the 1st time using an OAG! and 1st attempt but heavy crop of M51. A bit soft but will use a higher res cam next time. Happy with this for a first go! 😄shot over 2 nights using a @zwoasi 071-MC Pro. #astrophotography

[Deep Sky Ash @Deepskyash]

@clarkjames70 Great detail there James 👍

[James Clark @clarkjames70]

I added mono data thro April to last years OSC for these Pinwheel Galaxy images (M101)
The close up is the EdgeHD FOV - I liked the other objects in the wider angle, using the RGB data from my 106mm refractor to create the wider field mosaic.

@ScotiaAstro @Celestron @zwoasi Cheers Scotia. Found the OAG tricky but hopefully got the hang of it now. 👍
