Back on Earth, a wedding.

1. is there an indication you got what you want or do you need to stack and process dozens of images before the Nebula and galaxies pop out? To get the exposure needed you must look at your histogram. I want the meat of what I'm shooting, the big hump, to be centered on the 1/4 line on the left...

Entry #2

Running out for a 3 hour shoot of Andromeda. I will come back to this and answer all your questions in detail. But, here is a raw image of what it looks like on the camera unedited.

The more I learn, HUGE amount of learning, the better I'm getting. Using a tracker for the stars makes such an incredible difference. I can't wait to see what I can accomplish when I actually know what I'm doing. This is a 1.5 hour exposure.

Getting better at this astrophotography stuff. This is a 1.5 hour exposure. 1.5 hour exposure of the Lagoon and Trifid Nebula.

Thank you. The editing is a whole new animal to learn. I reworked this image, after learning more editing, and its improved quite a bit. Can't wait to see what I can do with dark skies.

Making progress in learning how to edit astrophotography.

1 hour 8 minute photo of Andromeda shot under the city lights.

Figuring this deep sky astrophotography stuff out. This was shot under full city lights, which I knew would generate crap, but I was practicing stacking to see if I could capture it. This is a 1 hour 8 minute exposure at ISO 200, f/4, 300mm, D500. I present... Andromeda.

Entry #1 Sneak attack during family photos.

I had an exchange student that headed home. During his time here I took pictures documenting his trip. I would like to order a hardback photo book that I can put short captions with. Anyone had a book done like this? What company did you use? Thank you in advance.

So irritated. Typed this big long bit to help you out and the forum dumped it... Grrrrr This is what I use. The iPolar is an upgrade to the basic system. It allows for accuracy that you can't get without it. iPolar is a camera that you use with your computer and a free program to align off...

Long exposure with my star tracker. My hope was to capture more of the blue ion tail with the long exposure... it worked.

My first night shot. Not missing getting up at 3 a.m.
