Oskar ContrerasGood evening. Decided to try the s50 with 20 second imaging duration. After about 25 minutes I had 10:40 minutes of information. Let the s50 do its thing cleaning up the image. Here is tonight’s observation of #M8 #LagoonNebula. Also leaving the telescope overnight observing more nebula. Will share the results tomorrow. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
earthlingWhile appearing pink in long-exposure photographs, it typically appears gray when viewed through binoculars or telescopes due to the human eye's limited color sensitivity in low-light conditions.
Dr NKarTrying to get back to astrophotography after a long hiatus. As a starter, Lagoon Nebula (M8) photons for an hour.
80mm refractor, imx585 camera, no filter, PMC-Eight mount, 30mm guidescope, 2 mins sub, open-source software (NINA, PHD2, ASCOM, Carte du Ciel, DeepSkyStacker, Siril, Cosmic Clarity, GraXpert, Darktable), Bortle 5 sky.

rdmLast night we had a lovely clear sky, so I set up a mosaic with the Dwarf3 around the Triffid and Lagoon nebulae.
I applied my usual post processing steps, and I got almost as good a result as I got up in Beacon with the DwarfII. But only almost, and with twice as long an exposure.
Let's just look at that for a moment, because not all is as it seems.
The D3 has a 38mm aperture, and the D2 25mm. This means that the D3 has twice the light gathering capability of the D2, and has a more sensitive detector. So this image has four times the light gathered as the image in Beacon, but it is also a mosaic covering almost four times the area, so we come back down to the same amount of light per pixel as the D2 got in a true dark sky.
What this means is that if I had taken this shot last week in Beacon, it would have been truely spectacular!
2 hours 8 minutes total exposure, gain 80, Ha/OIII filter.

StellarSnap📸 Rubin’s First Look: A Sagittarius Skyscape
This wide-field view from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory spans over 4 degrees in Sagittarius. It captures the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20), two iconic regions of star formation in the Milky Way.

Here is the image processed of the #M8 - #LagoonNebula. The colors are great, though you do loose some of the detail I feel. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

After last night's #drone show of #Kooranup, I set up my #DwarfII down on #Manjaree (#BathersBeach) in #Walyalup (#Fremantle).
Despite bright lights everywhere, and a lot of haze from the bushfires around #Perth , I managed to get a very nice shot of the #LagoonNebula (#M8). 100 frames @gain 80 and 15s exposure, with an OIII/Ha filter. Post processed in #snapseed.
