Antares / Rho Ophiuci
Hi all,
I thought I'd just throw this one out for comment. It's not the first time I've imaged this target, so I sort-of know what I'm aiming to get at the end.
I'm not really happy with the final result, as the nebula regions don't seem to be separate from the stars in the background.
I know a lot of people go for over-saturated colours and turn it into a neon playground, and that's really not my taste.
One good thing to come out of the night's work was the astounding feat of polar aligning the Star Adventurer. I guesstimated which way was south, gave the altitude adjuster a nudge, and when it was dark enough to PA through the polar scope, Octans was IN MY FOV! I have never had that happen before, and especially not when I pointed the thing in a random direction... For those of you with an SA, you'll know how difficult it is to PA these things through their polar scope.
Taken at Lake Tyrell with my DSLR and 90mm lens. A stack of 100 * 20 second exposures at ISO 3200, f3.2. Processed with SiriL and Affinity photo.
Cheers,
V
