Steve Paxton / Photos

Trantula Nebula Astro Fest 2021 13th November

this is the result of the photo's I took 5 min subs. Most could not believe that this came from the sky that they could see in front of them on the night. I though it was worth putting the photos together so you could see the result.

QHY183C -10c 21 shot 5 min after dark till 10pm and they turned on the light's on the field.

Great shot, especially as I imagine there was probably some city light pollution around.

Light pollution to the MAX and moon pollution as well why most could not believe the shot on the computer to the sky they where looking at. Even though the FITS file from the colour Astro camera is black and white on screen but I had the shot from the other camera on the Ipad for them to compare. I will try and add a further nights worth of shots mainly to compare the shot of the faulty camera with. Thank you was as far as I am concerned a very good night.

I am glad you said that cause I had no plan on stopping but you will find the results will be a bit better with editing help. I am in the process of going back over all the old shot what a difference but they will not be posted.
Thank you its not a field for very many and some times feels positively lonely..
