Lovely! You're having fun with that modded 5D2.

Fantastic shot again Leo How you are able to produce such amazingly beautiful photos without "optimal" data is baffling a lot of people Leo ...only 150min total exposure time? really?

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it Leo! Another magical shot!

Cheers, Marcus

Great image, Leo! Nice to see both objects in the same FOV.

Exercise caution here Mike. A "lot of people" hijacked some other thread, so let's not do it here.


Great image Leo. I really like the way it shows the spatial relationship between various well-known objects.

Maybe I'm really a good astrophotographers ?

It may be, for sure now are years that i use the same instrumentation. I know my sky I know where to push and I know that at F3.6 five minutes sub are too many and allow to takes a few poses to get a good result. I use the reduction of noise in Gaussian and in frequency and I reduce the pictures by 50%. With RC i'm using a long exposure and if the weather permit i try to taken 10/15 hours of data with goal to show the full resolution result.

Everyone makes photography as wants, the important thing there is passion. As far as I'm concerned the data is 70% of the photo but with the remaining 30% of processing we can do wonders.

Greetings to all and be good! I ran away from the Italian forum in order to don't attend perennial discussions ...

All the best,
Leo

Beautiful and impressive. Oh, to image at F/3.6 under such a dark sky...

[Leonardo70 (Leonardo Orazi)]

Thanks LightningNZ ... this is my "dark sky"

All the best,
Leo

Great shot Leo. Love the FOV. Lots of faint dust there, well done!

Your location looks pretty good!

Cheers

Rod

[Paul Haese]

That's a really cool field of view Leo. FSQ106 with reducer on has a really wide view.

[Leonardo70 (Leonardo Orazi)]

Thanks Rod.
Paul ... happy you like to FOV.

All the best,
Leo
