Setup Details:
Gear: Canon Rebel T7 + Sigma 16mm prime on a MoveShootMove Nomad tracker
Sky: 28 x 90-second exposures | ISO 800 | f/2
Foreground: 1 x 90-second exposure | ISO 1600 | f/2
Testing the setup on a road near some hay bales. I am actually surprised how well the constellation came out on its own without needing to dodge or force the foreground in post.
Just a quick, un-tracked session to catch a brief break in the weather before the clouds completely took over the frame. But trying to stack multiple longer exposures for the foreground, I accidentally made my first star trails image lol
Setup Details:
Sky: 6 x 16s @ f/2.8, ISO 1600
Foreground: 3 x 5min @ f/8, ISO 400
Gear: Canon Rebel T7 + Sigma 16mm prime (Untracked)
Spent some time in Jasper National Park capturing the dark skies. The Milky Way truly never gets old.
This is a 1-hour stack culled down from a full 4-hour tracked session to maximize SNR while avoiding tracking distortion at the lens edges.
• Canon T7 + Rokinon 16mm prime
• Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i
• 40 x 90s exposures
• Stacked/Processed in PixInsight (Starless separation workflow)
• Final landscape blend completed in GIMP
Finally got a night of clear skies to test out the new gear on the moon. This is a single stack, and the new sensor is absolutely living up to expectations. It’s capturing the actual landscape and much more subtle terrain than I've been able to get until now.
Gear Setup:
• Camera: SVBONY SC571CC (Sony IMX571 sensor)
• Scope: Orion ED80T CF
• Barlow/Amplifier: Tele Vue Powermate 2x
Its still a bit too early to capture the milky way. The camera gets too much of the twilight to get much detail in it. But I thought the sky glow was kinda nice anyway
Cought the moon setting through the smokey horizon, turning it a crimson color. TBH the camera did too good of a job cutting through the film, so I had to try to replecate what it looked like
First light on my new camera — Andromeda Galaxy (M31).
Not exactly peak astro season up here at ~55°N (the sun barely goes down), but it was awesome to catch M31 climbing higher in the sky.
