Rick G Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I took this 11-8-2013. it is 20 second exposure. it was taken as a raw format and color corrected on photoshop. I had to resize it and hopefully I didn't lose the picture qualities. It really pops out. here are the details: iso 1600 focal length: 22.0 mm f/5.6 manual focus I think you can see down to mag 10 or 11 on the image.

NeffsvilleWx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I can never make out anything more than his belt. Nice picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 here are two more: both are jets flying over during the 20 seconds where the shutter was opened. I got the idea after watching a ufo show. I wanted to recreate the shot they said was an UFO. IT didn't quite do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I am pretty sure the nebula got washed out during the processing. The one near the sword didn't come out that well. Also the jpg format compresses the file and by that process, you lose minor details. I got a few filters and will try them out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting to the internet absolutely murders wide-field astrophotography. I always assume every night sky shot is actually several times better than it looks online.

I always assume every night sky shot is actually several times better than it looks online. I know, my pictures look almost 3d on the screen. Especially the raw format. For those who do not know what raw format is, it is the image straight from the chip with no camera processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
