And also this because why not 😅
And this will be my Orion Nebula for 2025.

The Rosette Nebula as seen from my driveway. From a few years ago.

I think this will be it. This is my Horse-head Nebula photo for 2025. I'll do a better picture in 2026, hopefully.

Siril is a heck of a great piece of software. BUT.
I've used the 1.4.0 beta 3 version for a long time and was perfectly fine with it, even if it was complaining that I should update.
I've updated to 1.4.0 final, and now every other stretch, the app crashed 😤
all my sympathy to all the contributors though.
Last night was a good night. The Horse-head Nebula (and part of the Flame Nebula), in the Belt of Orion. Not the final image.

So... Well... I have a new toy. It's a PLANETARY camera. So I pointed it to an obvious target: the Orion Nebula. Obviously.
A different processing...
I've bought this camera to learn guiding and do a little bit of planetary imaging. Now that I see what it can do on deep space objects, and want to image with it AND guide... So I still need a guiding cam... 😅 The bottomless pit (aka the black hole)

I also tried the new planetary camera in its intended use... (now I need a barlow) #astronomy #astrophotography

Around the Flaming Star
This image depicts a region in the Auriga constellation, including multiple deep-sky objects. I aimed for the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) and the Tadpole Nebula (IC 410), but the wider framing of the lens includes the star clusters M36, M38, and NGC 1907, as well as the nebulae IC 417, Sh2-235, LdN-1512, LdN-1522, and LdN-1523.
As with my previous DSO images, this image was taken without a tracker but with sporadic manual tracking with a standard DSLR setup with a 105 mm macro lens. This time I used 1360 × 2 s frames, resulting in 45 m 20 s exposure time.
This relatively short integration time is near the limit of what is possible for me, as the large number of frames requires a lot of storage during processing (>700 GB in this case). Details of the nebulae are not obtainable with this method, but the general shape can be seen. It also only works well with larger objects, as the relatively wide tele, noise, and resolution limits do not allow capturing details of smaller DSOs.
Despite the limitations, it is fun to experiment without a tracker and see what is possible.
The workflow included #Siril, #GraXpert, #StarNet, and #GIMP.

The same, but annotated, image of a region of the starry sky. The bright nebula regions are named the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) and Tadpole Nebula (IC 410). The star clusters are annotated as the Starfish Cluster (M38) and the Pinwheel Cluster (M36). Other nebulae include the Sh2-235 and Spider Nebula (IC 417). The dark nebulae have the designations LdN-1512, LdN-1522, and LdN-1523. The brightest star in the image is annotated with Hasseleh (Iota Aurigae).
An image of a region of the starry sky with many stars. A large red nebula with two bright regions is in the center of the image, with a diffuse reddish-brown background nebula. Two larger star clusters are visible to the left, as well as two more tiny red glowing nebulae. Three small dark nebulae are to the right, where they block the stars behind them.
