My Astro photos

[vijay]

Here are some astrophotos I took in the last one year. All DSO photos were captured with short subs and total integration times were not more than 40 mins and hence they lack detail. I don’t have the exact number of subs and total integration time for most of these photos. I’ll maintain a log for future photos.

Camera: Nikon D3500
Telescope: Konus Konusky 200
Software:
Preprocessing: PIPS
Stacking: Autostekkert for Solar Syatem objects and Deepsky Staker for DSOs
Post Processing: Registax for solar system objects. DSOs processed with PS and Siril.

I haven’t maintained a proper log (to document FPS, exposure, exactly what SW used to process etc) so far. But I’ll do it in future.

Triangulum Galaxy:

Integration time: Around 40 mins
Date: 28 July 2022

Whirlpool Galaxy:

Integration time: Around 40 mins

Ring Nebula:

Integration time: around 25 mins
Date: 20 July 2022

Orion Nebula:

Integration time: around 45 mins
Date: 15 April 2022

Stars removed:

More to come.
