Andy Resnick said:Some images from last weekend (Pleiades and Orion): all taken at 400mm,
davenn said:just some thoughts ...
I will note that particularly with the Pleiades and the Flame/HH images, I am surprised you haven't captured much more light for 2.5 hours of total exposure ??
You didn't comment on camera or ISO settings ? ...
I wonder if you are using a very low ISO and or the camera is an older one with a less sensitive sensor chip ?
For 2.5 hrs exposure time, the nebulosity around the Pleiades should be so brightDave

awesome idea ... label the thread " astro image stacking" or words to that effectAndy Resnick said:If there is interest, I could open a new thread and walk through the entire process, maybe you (or anyone!) have a useful suggestion.
Awesome photo!Andy Resnick said:First is a full-frame
I actually prefer the first one to the second one. I think it's nice to see the vast surroundings of the constellation .Andy Resnick said:the second a more pleasing crop

Simply glorious!Andy Resnick said:Here's a re-stack of the Orion nebula (M42): 400mm, DX format: About 1hour of acquisition time.

It looks like it could be a good desktop wallpaper too (if it's turned + or -90°).
You don't have a flickr account? For uploading images in large resolutions?
See e.g. this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/best-online-free-photo-storage-option.947054/
and e.g. my post #5.
I understand.Andy Resnick said:A colleague of mine, who teaches photography, has very definite ideas about how 'freely shared photos' has wrecked the profession
Hi you and a happy new yearbruha said:I just attach my most well-done image of moon up to know- right down is Copernicus I think and right darker elipse is plato (dont know name).
bruha said:Hi, it is amazing images…
Can you tell me from which place you made it (probably absolutely without light noise..?) and which devices you use?
Lot of success and happy new year …..
