#MilkyWay from #Oxfordshire 22nd May 2025. Taken with a #Canon1100D + 10-18mm lens. 25sec ISO-1600 f/4.5. 43 mages + 20 darks stacked with #Sequator. I need to stack this data again because something funky happened to the foreground!

DE: Eine abendliche Hochkantaufnahme eines Starkstrom-Mastes. Links und rechts laufen Überlandleitungen auf ihn zu, im Hintergrund sieht man Lichtverschmutzung und Rauschwaden eines nahen Kraftwkeres. Und rechts oben der eigentliche "Star" der Aufnahme: Der Komet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS mit seinem langen Schweif.

EN: An evening portrait of a power pylon. Power lines run towards it on the left and right, and in the background you can see light pollution and noise from a nearby power plant. And at the top right is the real "star" of the picture: the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS with its long tail.

$DE: Die ganze Aufnahme. Die farbigen Kreise um den Komet könnten durch die Ränder und Linsenbrechung innerhalb des Zoom-Objektiv zustande gekommen sein. EN: The whole image. The coloured circles around the comet could have been caused by the edges and lens refraction within the zoom lens.$

The northern part of the #MilkyWay never gets any love but last week on holiday in Wales it looked absolutely stunning - in fact I've never seen this part look so good! 5th Sept '24 #Canon110D 10-18mm lens, 25x20sec, ISO-3200 f/4.5. Stacked in #Sequator #NorthernMilkyWay

#MilkyWay from #Oxfordshire taken on 28th June 2024 with a Canon 1100D + 18-55mm kit lens 41x20sec ISO-1600 f/3.5. Stacked using #Sequator. Various light gradients made this one a total pain to process!

The southern milky way near to the galactic core forms a band extending up from rooftops in a starry sky. There are dark dusty regions within the band and a dark central band up the middle of the Milky Way

#MilkyWay from #Oxfordshire, UK 1st June 2024. #Canon1100D + #Canon 10-18mm lens. 39x20s ISO-3200 f/4.5 + 25 darks stacked in #Sequator Final image is cropped. It doesn't even get fully dark at the moment so I'm pleasantly surprised with this result!

Anyone else still mentally and digitally processing Friday night?
The amount of raw-files on that SD card is kind of daunting. XD
So I edited a few less colourful shots from yesterday with just a hint of #aurora. Mostly just a gently glowing moon and stars over a local ruin. First two images are multiple exposures stacked in #Sequator to bring out the star light.

a hint of red. Was just setting up and shooting some test images not knowing this was going to be the best I was supposed to get.

M31 the #AndromedaGalaxy with #Comet #12P/PonsBrooks taken on 3rd March 2024. The pink at the bottom is part of the amazing aurora we had that night! Widefield shot taken with a Canon 1100D 50mm fixed lens, 20 x 10 seconds stacked in #Sequator

I had about an hour after sunset last night to try to capture the cone of #ZodiacalLight (sunlight illuminating #InterplanetaryDust) before the Moon rose & I got it! Canon 1100D +10mm lens, 19 x 25sec ISO-1600 f/4.5. Stacked using #Sequator Oxfordshire, UK

EN: An upright photo of the Milky Way. Scattered villages can be seen on the bottom of the picture. From the villages shines golden light pollution to the sky.

Es war in einer lauen Augustnacht 2022, als mich die Sterne spontan spät abends in die Eifel riefen. Am perfekt für die Anreise gelegenen Parkplatz mit dem schönen Blick auf Dedenborn waren rasch Stativ und Kamera aufgebaut und schwuppdiwupps war die Serie inkl. Darks schon im Kasten. Noch ein Schlückchen aus der Teekanne und schon ging es wieder nach Hause. Eines meiner effizientesten Milkyway-Shootings ever 😂.

The December issue of #SkyAtNightMagazine is now arriving to subscribers and will be in the shops soon. It features my article on how to create #StarTrails using #Sequator It has some really useful built-in processing options that give excellent results, even under a lot of moonlight - this 45 minute star trails was was created under a Full Moon!

45 minute star trails above a historic stone church in Oxfordshire, UK

Here's another version of #StarTrails from #TerraNovaNP - 17 Aug. This one created using #Sequator (~100 frames) with tweaks to colour using #DarkTable

There is enough of an arc in the trails to see what direction the North and South celestial poles are (ie. North is upper right).

Night time image. Overlooking a meandering brook. Some nearby trees to the right and a forest of trees beyond the brook. Above the horizon is the night sky with the star trails looking like comets. Stars giving the appearance of moving upper left to lower right. Reflections of the stars are visible in the brook.

Galactic Tree 2

This image is a composite taken during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on the 13.08.2023 at a remote location near Göhrde in Germany. The Milky Way was exposed via 14 photographs that were stacked with #Sequator. The meteorites were caught in 6 additional photographs and manually registered to the Milky Way image in #GIMP. The single image processing was conducted in #darktable with the final compositing done in #GIMP.

This version has improved postprocessing, meteorite registration and 3 more meteorites that were captured in a second series of photos of the same scene.

A vertical photograph of the Milky Way rising straight out of the silhouette of a tree. The silhouettes of few more trees are visible at the bottom of the image. Six greenish meteorite streaks are visible parallel to the Milky Way. The Milky Way is glowing purple at the top, orange in the middle and yellow at the bottom.

On 14th August 2023 I had 2 #Canon1100D cameras shooting the #MilkyWay from my garden in Oxfordshire, UK. 10mm shots: 25x25sec ISO-3200 f/4.5. 50mm shots: 45 & 49x10sec ISO-1600 f2.2. Stacked with 20 darks using #Sequator. Click the images to view in full #UKMilkyWay #Astrophotography

Widefield shot of the Milky Way in the southern sky from Oxfordshire. It forms an almost vertical band down the sky with dark dust in the centre. There are many clumps of stars and dust in the lower regions

Close up shot of part of the southern Milky Way. This area is full of clusters and patches of red nebulae with ribbons of dark dust woven through them

This image is a composite taken during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on the 13.08.2023 at a remote location near Göhrde in Germany. It consists of 14 photographs of the Milky Way stacked with #Sequator. 3 additional photographs of the same scene captured meteorites that I added with #GIMP to the final Milky Way image. The single image processing was conducted in #darktable .
