CASSIOPEIA, HEART & SOUL . Clear skies last night

CASSIOPEIA, HEART & SOUL
.
Clear skies last night and the wind died down a little. I had a couple of hours so decided to shoot some wide field images of both the Cassiopeia area and the Eagle Nebula area (about an hour of subs for each).
.
Here’s a quick edit of the Cassiopeia series which includes the Heart and Soul Nebulas to the bottom of the image. Getting a bit better at processing the images, especially controlling noise by separating nebulae from stars and then processing them separately.
.
Swipe to see the sky placement of this at around midnight last night.
.
Pleiades and California nebulae are already rising later in the night… the nights are getting shorter already, Orion will start edging its way back into view fit the winter in no time…
.
Wishing everyone a nice weekend 🌌

Another milky way image - taken last week, while I wandering around our neighborhood at 3am 😄 (see my previous posts). 🌌

Full moon tonight - too bright for stargazing but it’s a good opportunity to process images taken earlier this month.

ANDROMEDA GALAXY 🌌
.
Our closest neighbor - the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way (2.5 million LY). Taken last week from our garden while I was observing and shooting the Perseid meteors with other equipment.
.
I realize that it’s not Hubble-level imagery, but I’m awestruck that one can decently shoot such far-reaching objects with rudimentary equipment (no telescope).
.
About 70 exposures x 90 seconds each stacked with maybe 15 dark frames. Nikon Z7a with 70-200 f/2.8 (at 200mm f/3.5). ISO 1000. Unguided on a Star Watcher Star Adventurer.

3 AM in Le Côty 😴 🌌
.
Last night, while the star tracker was ticking away following the Andromeda Galaxy for a few hours, I did a little walk around the neighborhood with another camera to capture a few landscape milky way scenes. The neighboring farmers had just recently mowed and tilled the fields to prepare for the mechanical hay baler, producing aesthetic lines of neatly mowed grass. The milky way core provides a nice backdrop.
.
Pretty quiet at 3am! 😴 💤

Beautiful evening last night! ☄️ 🌌
.
Spotted many meteors streaking across the clearly visible milky way. I’ve over 1200 pics to go through (mostly timelapse sequences), but here’s one that I spotted while importing the images today. It’s actually a 3-image composite, blending the foreground from 1 image and the sky and meteors from 2 others.
.
The view is to the northeast sky (Cassiopeia), with Andromeda galaxy clearly visible just above the pine tree. This is close to the perceived source of the meteors (a.k.a. the radiant). The orange glow of the village of Le Pâquier in the background.
.
In case you missed it last night, the Perseids shower is actually peaking today and tonight, but skies are not supposed to be as clear in our area today. Good luck if you’re heading out tonight! 🍀 ☄️🤞🏻

Taken with unmodified Nikon Z6 and 20mm S f/1.8 (at f/2 • 20s exposures).

While most of Switzerland was watching the Euro ⚽️ final last night, I drove to a nearby hill to get a good view on the Milky Way core and the Rho Ophiuchi complex. It’s the only evening this month with clear skies - what a horrid month of weather it has been! 🌧 ☔️ ⛈
.
Anyway, I digress… This photo is a two stack, side-by-side panorama with the lovely and fast 58mm f/1.4 Nikon lens. Each stack has about 20 images of 60 seconds exposures. Modified Nikon Z7 and tracked. Very little post processing here, mostly curve stretching and levels adjustments.

NORTH AMERICA NEBULA 🌌
.
A mostly starless image of the North America Nebula, taken a few nights ago from my garden.
.
Most of my deep space images have been very short exposures by astrophotography standards, and this has me struggling with controlling noise when processing the image. This one is maybe 40 minutes total exposure time (~20 x 2 min each). I’m mostly limited by the fact that I can’t stay up all night capturing data these days. 🥱
.
Filtering out the stars and enhancing the nebulosity as separate layers certainly helps keep the noise under control, however.
.
They’re not for everyone, bu I kinda’ like the starless images… they allow you to focus more on the nebula. Thoughts?

RHO OPHIUCHI

My first attempt at a beautiful and popular astrophotography target. Rho Ophiuchi is easy to locate but it never rises very high above the horizon at our latitude - being located in the southern sky, it’s located just above the significant light pollution of the Swiss lowlands (relative to our location). I used a 2 min exposure time for only about 15 subs, but due to the light pollution the details were almost washed out even at only 2 minutes. I recovered quite a bit of info but there’s a lot of noise here that I had to contend with.
.
Antares and Rho Ophiuchi Region
.
The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is one of the closest star-forming regions to our Solar System.
.
Antares (the bright orange one in this photo) is on average the fifteenth-brightest star in the night sky, and the brightest object in the constellation of Scorpius. It is is a red supergiant, a large evolved massive star and one of the largest stars visible to the naked eye. Its exact size remains uncertain, but if placed at the center of the Solar System, it would reach to somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its mass is calculated to be around 12 times that of the Sun.
.
Shot info: Nikon Z7a with 70-200mm f/2.8 (at 150mm f/4) and CCD clip-in filter. Tracked exposures of only 15 x 2min and some dark frames.

LAGOON NEBULA. . We’ve finally had a few stella

LAGOON NEBULA.
.
We’ve finally had a few stellar evenings during this week’s new moon, making up for several really crappy months of new moon weather, just in time for peak milky way core viewing at our latitude. Last night was exceptionally stunning - by around 2am the full milky way arch was clearly visible to the naked eye and the night sky really had that “3D” look where you really feel you are but a tiny part of the cosmos. Really not bad for Bortle 4 skies.
.
So… lots of pics to share once manage to catch up with processing. This one was taken last night in our driveway - swipe to see a detail and the position of the nebula in the sky at around 1am.
.
The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It’s estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years away from the Earth with a size of about 110 by 50 light years. It is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes.
.
Other names: Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72.
.
Shot info: Nikon Z7a with 70-200mm f/2.8 and 1.4x TC (at 280mm f/5) and CCD clip-in filter. Tracked exposures of only 16 x 2min and some dark frames.

Happy to report that the young magpie we rescued last week after a night of extreme winds was released a few days later and rejoined its siblings. We spotted its parents feeding it shortly after it made its way to its nest, so we’re confident it was reintegrated successfully. 🥰 ❤️

This image was taken about an hour after its release, on its way up to its nest.

Core of Cygnus 🦢 🔭
.
Swipe to see its location in the sky if you’re not sure.
.
Last night we finally had wonderfully clear skies - first nice evening in so long! Unfortunately I couldn’t stay up to late but managed about 15 x 90sec exposures before having to call it a night. The sky doesn’t get quite dark enough these days until about 23:15, so there’s a much shorter window of opportunity compared to winter astrophotography.
.
So, this is only about 20 min total exposure time on the central part of the Swan, featuring the North American Nebula in the bottom left. You may have to tilt your head to the left to “see” it.

Happy Earth Day 🌱 🌎

Everyone you have ever known, every memory you have ever made is on that “Pale Blue Dot”.

Words from #carlsagan
.
Carl Sagan was a member of the Voyager Imaging Team. He had the original idea in 1981 to use the cameras on one of the two Voyager spacecraft to image Earth. He realized that because the spacecraft were so far away the images might not show much. This was precisely why Sagan and other members of the Voyager team felt the images were needed — they wanted humanity to see Earth’s vulnerability and that our home world is just a tiny, fragile speck in the cosmic ocean.

Starless image of the Heart and Soul Nebulae. This

Starless image of the Heart and Soul Nebulae. This is my first image taken with my newly astro-modified Nikon Z (from @lifepixelinfrared ), so was eager to get a couple of hours of data with it last night. The 45MP are wonderful to work with! However, with my cold fingers last night I just missed perfect focus on the stars and basically messed up a nice, sharp image. It was also quite windy at times. So here’s a starless version nevertheless, which is still worth sharing IMHO 🙂 ✨ 🌌.
.
.
Roughly 25 subs of 2 minutes each, with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 (at f/3.5 and 135mm), cropped.
.
.

(from NASA): Located near the constellation Cassiopeia, about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the Heart and Soul nebulae form a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The nebula at the bottom is the Heart, designated IC 1805 and named after its resemblance to a human heart. Above it is the Soul nebula, also known as the Embryo nebula, IC 1848 or W5. The Perseus arm lies further from the center of the Milky Way than the arm that contains our sun. The Heart and Soul nebulae stretch out nearly 580 light-years across, covering a small portion of the diameter of the Milky Way, which is roughly 100,000 light-years across. The two nebulae are both massive star-making factories, marked by giant bubbles that were blown into surrounding dust by radiation and winds from the stars.

Mars has been in the news a lot these days! With NASA’s successful landing of the #perseverance rover we’ve seen some incredible images coming back.
.
On March 3, 2021, Mars and the Pleiades star cluster – also known as the Seven Sisters – were at their closest conjunction in 30 years and they won’t appear to be this close again until 2038.
.
This stacked image was taken last night in my driveway (March 8), so not quite in conjunction but pretty close. Mars seems to be “glowing” because several of my subs had a thin veil of high clouds which were semi-concealing Mars, acting as a diffuser.

My first attempt at Andromeda Galaxy. Taken last night in the backyard.
.
The almost-full-moon rose at about 9pm last night, so I only had about 1 hour of decent darkness to capture this image before the sky was more or less washed out.
.
About 20 stacked images at 90sec each + some dark frames. Nikon D5500a at 280mm (70-200 f/2.8 + 1.4TC).
.
Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, at about 2.5 million light years. It’s the most distant object and the only spiral galaxy outside our Milky Way able to be seen with the naked eye. If you live in a (decently) dark sky area, you can probably spot it with binoculars once you let your eyes adjust to the night.
.
I hope you are enjoying my adventures into astro photography! ... I’m loving it. 🌌 ✨

Dashing through the snow...
.
A few pics of our doggies Taiko and Yuma playing in our first “real” snowfall in 2 winters. About 30cm of the white stuff came down today! 🐾 ❄️ ⛄️.
.
Snow always provides a nice backdrop for some action pics!
.
I’ve been quiet on IG lately - enjoying some down-time with the family. Hope you’re doing the same!! 🥂🥃 🍻

No Geminids for me tonight due to heavy cloud cove

No Geminids for me tonight due to heavy cloud cover, so I’m counting on others to take some great shots of the biggest meteor show of the year. 💫 ☄️

Taken in La Joux-du-Plâne in the Canton of Neuchâtel at about 1200m.
