Hi, instable weather, so, playing on a bortle 8 balcony and light stuff: tried the l-enhance in front of the Sigma Art 135, thus f/2.8, on the D810a from Nikon. The star-artefacts are hopefully ...

some say with dual narrowband you cannot produce ok star colors. why not? RGB is there, so, if stars are separated, one should be able to get decent star colors Ha extraction OIII

Hi, just playing around a bit, done with ASI 2600MC at Bortle 8 sky: L-enhance, really curious what the l-extreme can do when I get it, finally.. Clearly had to remove light pollution from OIII, ...

hi, tried some new things on the Dark Doodad. I like it: 135mm, D810a 400mm

where to learn? The problem with what can be found in the net is that it omits the most crucial learning steps inbetween, all these failures and rise-agains - and... most important, there is no ...

I am still waiting if to book a flight. Not sure if these comanies will survive, maybe in a coulple of weeks give it a try, since I am part of the team next year

this is like 12 min at f/1.8. If it is worth it. Maybe I need to check again. Sigma Art lenses differ though. Good look with it. Corona numbers have gone pretty bad lately in Namibia... Let's hope ...

Hi Chris, I chose to do it with f/1.8. I see no logic in doing it at f/2.8, what do you think? Vignetting is really small and field curverture can be compensated by focussing carefully. But this ...

this is what I meant. (360 degrees is the topic). 24 frames out of a year of 40mm side-kick shooting. my conclusion is it is worthwhile to do it thouroughly again with a modified cam. I know of ...

yes, after my reply. Did you think about this possibility, right?

Thanx guys for the replies. I see a big difference though in doing mosaics up to about 120 degrees compared to 360, which is the topic here. Really good is though to have an ocean of ideas:-)

this is documented in the PI release already

Hi Chris, thanks for this! With APP I have best experience over all doing mosaics, yet for smaller ones. My goal is to do a 360 degree mosaic, which I have already done, with lots a flaws. Smaller ...

thanks Greg, but I have seen this already a while agao haha:-)

Hi, clouds since weeks, kind a sad. But as most know it is a chance to pick up what is left behind. As a byproduct I did 40mm milkyway frames here and there with the Sigma Art 40 and am now ...

another one which I really like. single shot of my 4th time with Neowise using Redcat, Sigma Art 40 and 135mm with Lighttrack II. That was 10:37 p.m.

Thank you very much for your feedback :-)

yes, color is not trivial with this low altitude and clouds. Saturation turnt up leads to this. Myson liked it. Before I had it lower.

improved the last one with APP a bit. The strong MAD median sigma at 2.0 clipping is better to get rid of most star trails in the comet process

Hi, thousands of Neowise pics everywhere. Actually kind a nice since many have been waiting for years for such a pretty one. I was on family vacation during the best period and we went out several ...
