Finally edited a photo from La Palma… and wow. Coming from Italy with its heavy light pollution, capturing clean RGB here felt almost too easy 😅 10 seconds for what usually takes us 10 minutes back home.
On the island I focused more on Ha and OIII, chasing those deep reds and the faint greens. Beyond the incredible sky itself, La Palma is pure magic: standing on the rim of a volcano, listening to the soft mechanical sounds of the telescopes turning in the night… one of the things I’ll remember most. The first night I didn’t even take a single shot — I just stood there and stared.

Gear: Canon 6D / Canon R + Sigma 24mm f/1.4

Ha 15x180 sec iso 3200 f2.2
Foreground 6panell 30sec iso 3200 f 1.4

Forgot to charge the tracker, thus I had to go back to some oldschool stacking of untracked Exposures:
Nikon Z7a with Viltrox 16 1.8.
Sky: 30 x 20s @ ISO 6400 f2.2.
Foreground: 118 s @ ISO 1600

370 × 60 secs - mosaic on S50 Pro

• Bortle 3-4

• Processing in Pixinsight and Photoshop

Currently playing about with individual subs in Pixinsight to see if the gradients in mosaic sections can be normalised somewhat after registering and alignment. Will also be getting more data when I get some clear sky again and haven't got anything else to shoot.

This is from the stacked mosaic. .fits file out of the Seestar which isn't a bad effort though very patchy in places which required some subtle stretching and blending several stretches together later

I don’t have a professional telescope just a lot of patience using a cellphone to hold over a telescope lens but they turned out nice.

I've been going to Capitol Reef annually, and most of the time there is cloud cover or a full moon, this time I had the perfect weather. The first picture is a 12 minute exposure and the second is a 6 min exposure. Is the greenish tint of the milky way air glow? I know I captured Andromeda, but are there any other notable things I captured in either picture?

On one of the few clear night skies we had over a 3 week period, I took my Seestar S30 Pro out and captured the Andromeda galaxy for 90 minutes. The region I was in lies under Bortle 4 skies so perfect to capture deep sky objects. This was my first try at capturing this galaxy and no other editing apps were used.

It was legit the most beautiful night of my life

lately i have been a fan of this app called stellarium..

sitting on roof (4th sometime 8th floor). if you stay under less exposure of light for an hour. you can see uranus, saturn, and even a small cluster called pleiades(consists of several tiny stars)..

haven't been this excited for a day end in a while

Took a quick night shot showing the bright moon glowing in a clear, star-filled sky, framing tree leaves and a roofline in the foreground
