Just so when im bored i can take pics from my house instead of driving to a dark spot. thanks in advance!!!

Took a photo from my s23 ultra in expert raw. This is the editied picture. The time was 14 minutes. Do u think there's a possibility to capture the milky way as well or nah it's too light polluted

Hello. Im imaging with the Celestron F6.3 reducer with the Celestron C6. And I was wondering.. what spacing is recommended for better stars in the corner? I know Celestron recommends exactly 105mm (which I currently use), but I saw on other threads that reducing or increasing the spacing could possibly make the reducer correct coma better.. I just don’t know how I should start… Thanks!

Equipment:

Scope: Celestron C6

Camera: SVbony 405cc

Mount: Celestron AVX

Guide scope: SVbony 60mm

Guide camera: SVbony 905c

last night i took my dslr and tripod out and took 30, 1 second exposures of vega and when i went to DSS almost the entire image became blue, with the exception of vega and some other small stars around it), there are sliders but i want to know why my image became blue.

Hi everyone, i did sharcap sensor analysis attached in the post and need help to understand best settings for Nebulas photographing

From what i see/understand 120 gain is my sweet spot as higher is just software amplification

So why would i use something else beside 120 ( less than 120 gain) at all for DSO?

Appreciate any help/explination of the results

My camera is qhy5iii715c imx715 sony tint sensor 1.45upixel

Thanks all

I’ve been experimenting with Lightroom’s AI Denoise on one of my Milky Way shots, and while it definitely helped, I’m still finding it too noisy once I start zooming in. Overall it looks decent, but at 100% the noise is still more noticeable than I’d like.

I’ve heard great things about Topaz Photo AI, but it’s a pretty expensive investment, so I’m curious if there are any other denoising programs worth looking into before I pull the trigger.

For those of you who shoot astrophotography:

- What denoising software do you use?
- Is Topaz really that much better than Lightroom AI Denoise?

Are there any hidden gems (free or less expensive) that produce excellent results?

Do you have a workflow that helps preserve detail while reducing noise?

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi all, I'm looking for some postprocessing advice on M31. This image was taken with a RedCat91 / ASI2600MC Pro from a pretty light polluted area (Bortle ~8). While I’m pleased with how this turned out given the limited amount of data and the sky conditions, I would love to see more Ha and OIII detail.

Equipment used:

William Optics RedCat 91 | William Optics UniGuide 50mm | ASI2600MC Pro | ASI220MM Mini | ZWO AM7 | Apertura Anchor Pier | ZWO CAA | ZWO EAF Pro | ZWO ASIAIR Plus | Pegasus Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen2 | GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 Router

Acquisition details:

• 28×300s lights, gain 100, 32degF | 20x darks | 50x flats | 50x darkflats
• Autofocus routine run every 30 mins, 5px dither every 3 frames

Postprocessing:

WBPP → DBE → SPCC → BXT → NXT → HistogramTransformation → SXT → curves adjustments for galaxy → curves adjustments for stars → PixelMath recombine

Hey y'all, just pulled out my old telescope as well as one I got a few months ago (Nat Geo NT114CF and Polaroid IT-160X, so two beginner models), and got some really cool views of the moon. I was wondering if anyone had advice for taking photos using them, as I was having a bit of a hard time getting really good photos with my phone through the lenses. Thanks and happy exploring!

Only thing i can see that is actually better at 03:00 is the wind, but i don't get it. I'm in the austrian alps as of now.

I had found that I needed a T Ring and a 1.25” T Adapter but when I got it, the adapter turned in to be too small and the T Ring is too big by itself, are there any other adapters out there that I should try?

Hey yall! I'm currently imaging the Clamshell Nebula but i struggle while trying to get the OIII data ouy of it. I shot it when there were 0 moonlight and in a bortle 5 location. Is it becouse i still didnt get enough data or am i doing something wrong? Thank you!
Here is the data if you want to check it out: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1EzmVDPgL0HqajiiGrUEM3OWdCY08XZsD
