Jakob MiskellAfter a few clear nights on the Elephant's Trunk, I had one more clear night before a week of rain so I went after a bright target that would look decent even with just a night's worth of data on it. The Western Veil Nebula (aka the Witch's Broom) is pretty bright object, and we haven't had a chance to image the Veil the past two years, so I gave it a shot. I got&nbsp;3.85 hours on it with the Newtonian, and it turned out pretty good.<br> ----<br> 🌌 Western Veil/Witch's Broom Nebula (NGC 6960)<br> 🔭 Celestron Astromaster 114 (Scope), Skywatcher GTi (Mount)<br> 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main), ZWO 120mm Mini (Guide)<br> 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/veilnebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#veilnebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ngc6960?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ngc6960</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bloomingtonmn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomingtonmn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/minnesota?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minnesota</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/minnesota?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minnesota</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bortle8?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bortle8</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bortle8sky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bortle8sky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/optolong?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optolong</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/optolonglenhance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optolonglenhance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playerone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playerone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arescpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeronearescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playeronearescpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixinsight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixinsight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a>
Jakob MiskellI’m so glad that I spent more time on the Elephant’s Trunk! A lot of faint nebulae were visible in my last image but now that I have over 10 hours on it, it all just pops out. It gives the trunk a lot of contrast, revealing all of the detailed structure it has. I even gave BlurXTerminator a go which fixed the star shapes and sharpened up the nebulae, and made the already-detailed trunk even more incredible.<br> <br> 421x90s lights (10.53 hours), darks, flats, biases stacked and edited in PixInsight.<br> ----<br> 🌌 The Elephant's Trunk (IC 1396)<br> 🔭 Meade RB-70 (Scope), SkyWatcher GTi (Mount)<br> 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main)<br> 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/elephantstrunknebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elephantstrunknebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ic1396?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ic1396</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixinsight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixinsight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/graxpert?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graxpert</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playerone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playerone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeroneastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playeroneastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sonysensor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonysensor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arescpro</a>
Jakob MiskellMy grandpa captured the Fireworks Galaxy in the middle of May and got almost 5 hours on it! The Fireworks Galaxy is located on the border between the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. It is a bright, colorful galaxy with a yellowish core, large clusters of blue stars, and many Ha regions (which aren't shown in this image). It's called the 'Fireworks' Galaxy because 10 supernovae have been observed in it over the past century.<br> <br> 70x240s lights (4.67 hours), flats, darks, and biases stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edited in Siril and background extraction and noise reduction applied with GraXpert.<br> ----<br> 🌌 Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946)<br> 🔭 Celestron EdgeHD 8"&nbsp;(Scope), Celestron CGEM-II&nbsp;(Mount)<br> 📸 ZWO 294MC Pro (Main), ZWO 224MC Color&nbsp;(Guide)<br> 📅 Jefferson, WI (Bortle 4.5)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fireworksgalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fireworksgalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ngc6946?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ngc6946</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spiralgalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiralgalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jefferson?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jefferson</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wisconsin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwisconsin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburb?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburb</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburban?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburban</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suburbs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suburbs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/celestron?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celestron</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/edgehd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edgehd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/edgehd8?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edgehd8</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/schmidtcassegrain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schmidtcassegrain</a>
Jakob MiskellAfter getting 4 hours on the Horsehead Nebula in December, my grandpa decided to collect some more data on it, bringing it to a total of 9 hours of data! The extra data really brings out the faint dust around the red cloud of ionized hydrogen, adding a lot of depth to the photo. I also really like how this image is rotated as it makes the image look more dramatic.<br> <br> 137x240s lights, flats, darks, and biases stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edited in Siril, and noise reduction applied in Adobe Lightroom mobile.<br> ----<br> 🌌 IC 434/Barnard 33<br> 🔭 Celestron EdgeHD 8"&nbsp;(Scope), Celestron CGEM-II&nbsp;(Mount)<br> 📸 ZWO 294MC Pro (Main), ZWO 224MC Color&nbsp;(Guide)<br> 📅 Jefferson, WI (Bortle 4.5)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horsehead?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horsehead</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ic434?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ic434</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/barnard33?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barnard33</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zwo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/294mcpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#294mcpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zwo294mcpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwo294mcpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/adobelightroom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adobelightroom</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dss?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dss</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/deepskystacker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepskystacker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siril?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siril</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horse</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jefferson?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jefferson</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeffersonwisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeffersonwisconsin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wisconsin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wisconsin</a>
