WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Live stacking enables us to quickly get an idea of what major structures will show on the final image. I use the "Folder Monitor Camera" in SharpCap, in which I can open the folder with NINA data and stack exposures up as they accumulate. It's only a matter of increasing SNR atp. #Astrophotography 090

Revisiting the California Nebula this fall, I used two narrowband filters on an OSC to gather the SHO data needed for this colourful image. 011
WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Same location, same sensor behaviour (IMX571 and IMX533), almost the same exposure time. Different scope, filters, processing tools and skills. This is my last photo of the nebula from Sept. 2024 in comparison. 141
WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 01/11/2025The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is a large, rich patch of emission in Perseus, its trapezoidal shape resembling the State of California.

WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 21/10/2025You can easily snap quick shots of #CometLemmon with the landscape now, through regular cameras or phones, as long as the weather cooperates. This was a 10s exposure last night at ISO400, taken with a M43 camera and 17 mm f/1.8 lens (FF equivalent of ~35 mm) near Lake Simcoe. #Astronomy 060
WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Right, I think there are many more options now, there used to be just the Askar and Altair ones, but now Optolong and SVBony are releasing their products too. This one I'm testing is a “Scorpio Astro” 7nm SII-OIII, it's not well known but seems to be doing its job properly haha 110
WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 18/10/2025If possible, try a SII-OIII filter in combination with Ha-OIII! I'm amazed at how much more vibrant it looks even with OSC data and no mono single channels to start with. DBXtract helped to produce the SHO channels in post using IMX571's response curve. 100
WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 18/10/2025I did crop a little for this shot though, because of some rotation between the two filters 110

WLR2678 @wlr2678.bsky.social · 23/09/2025I think it's mostly because of my refractor's lens not being optically perfect, and I'm using a lesser corrected reducer with it (the 0.6x one), leading to more aberrations than its performance by design. 100
