Another picture taken this past weekend. This one is of the Pleiades Open Star Cluster ( M45), also known as the Seven Sisters.
This is just 20 minutes of data (which I originally thought wasn't going to be enough) without a filter, using the same SVBONY SV555 APO lens and a ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera. #astrophotography
Carina Nebula (NGC 3372, or C92).
Captured last Friday with an SVBONY SV555 APO Triplet Lens, an Antlia Triband RGB Ultra II filter, and an ASI533 MC Pro cooled camera. #astrophotography
This is The Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy (NGC300 / C70). It's a very faint galaxy that doesn't venture high over the horizon around this time of the year, making it harder to photograph.
Over the last two nights I captured roughly 3 hrs of it with my Dwarf Mini. It required a lot of post-processing but this is by far the best picture of a galaxy I've taken yet. #astrophotography
Yesterday I managed to take this picture of Jupiter and its 4 Galilean Moons; Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
On the second picture you can see a progression of detail extraction after stacking thousands of pictures of the planet.
Finally, I added a direct comparison between two different moments of the capturing session, roughly 30 minutes apart. It's amazing how much Jupiter rotates in such a short amount of time.
