I got one of my #astrophotography works printed for my mom a few weeks ago and now her boyfriend wants a print too. In both cases, the idea of "cropping" seems completely alien to them.

Like, you're gonna have to stare at the thing on your wall, so do you want to see all the stars and black space around it or just the colorful stuff in the center? A little empty space or a lot? Because now's the time to tell me. It will take 2 seconds. It's not hard.

J'ai très peu montré cette photo qui ne remplissait pas mes objectifs pour cette nuit là. Je la sors, finalement, des archives aujourd'hui pour vous la partager.

While we were all fighting the fascist during his first term, we maybe missed this magnificent celestial event. The passing of Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3).

Neowise was noted as the brightest comet in the Northern Hemisphere since Comet Haley-Bopp in 1997. It was discovered in March of 2020, then reached its epoch on July 6, 2020.

(Source: no idea. I found it on my computer. If you know, please share.)

Ok this was a "secondary target" for tonight, but it came out surprisingly well... 120 lights, 60s each, from 2:30 to 4:30 am. Part of those flares are dew 😅

(and now, to bed!)

#astronomy #astrophotography

Last night primary target, M81 and M82, again. Not sure the result is better than the previous night, I'd have to come back at them later...

196 lights 60s each (but with clouds in part of the session, also: more moon)

#astronomy #astrophotography

Another try at processing this data. Trying to show more nebulosity, also showing more imperfections and more dew in the process 😂

(ok now seeing them side by side the first one is better sight)

#astronomy #astrophotography

Well, I'm quite pleased by the result. With ~270 * 30s lights.

Probably not the best night to try M81 & M82 😅

Il y a 2 semaines j'ai passé 5 jours à Carcans pour participer à un stage de photographie nocturne organisé par l'AFA (Association Française d'Astronomie). Cela faisait des années que je ne faisais plus d'astrophotographie, ou de nightscape (photo de paysage nocturne). Cela m'a remotivé pour m'y remettre.

Si le stage vous intéresse, il a lieu tous les ans -> https://www.afastronomie.fr/carcans-2-0

Pour commencer le fil, voici une photo prise lors du 1er soir, le thème était "Plongeon Céleste". On voit bien la Voie Lactée plonger vers la pollution lumineuse 😊

#astrophotography #nightscape #milkyway #photography #canon6d

This one turned out absolutely gorgeous 😍



This is the Teddy Bear Nebula (NGC 7822) in SHO. One of the targets I captured during an unbelievable stretch of near-perfect weather few weeks ago. A total integration time of about 24.3 hours.



FYI, for those that don't know, SHO means:

• Red = sulphur
  
• Green = hydrogen
  
• Blue = oxygen
  

Le jour suivant, le thème était "Songe d'une nuit d'été". Toujours au bord du Lac de Carcans, mais cette fois on était en face de la photo prise la veille. La lumière que l'on apperçoit à l'horizon sur la 2ème photo c'est Bordeaux, situé à 60km de là !

I took a picture of Pluto on two consecutive nights using my SeeStar S50, with about 10 minutes of exposure. Huzzah! You can see it moving against the background stars. #astrophotography

Hazy moon below Antares tonight.
