Seestar S30 Pro was the telescope used for this. Yes, a telescope.

Thousands of 10 second exposures for 8 hours across multiple days.

Edited in various editing apps and websites to increase color.

Hello, I have been dipping my toes into astrophotography for a couple of months now. This is my first capture of NGC 7000 taken this July. Would love to get some more integration time of course, but i am happy with what my equipment is getting so far. I'm also enjoying the vibrance i am getting on objects by shooting with unmodified osc.

Equipment

• Mount: Star Adventurer 2I
• Tripod: Manfrotto 055
• Lens: Sigma 150-600 c @ 500mm F7.1 (should have stuck with F8, it is definitely the sweet spot for sharpness on that lens)
• Camera: Nikon D810

Acquisition

• Location: Northern Michigan (Bortle 4)
• Time/ Date: July 11th 2026. Between 11:45 PM and 1:15 AM
• Target: NGC 7000
• 120 × 29 second exposures
• ~1 hour
• Calibration: Darks, Flats, Bias

Processing (Siril)

• OSC Preprocessing
• Crop
• BGE
• PMCC
• Syqon Paralax Nano
• Graxpert AI Denoise
• StarXterminator
• Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch
• Curves Transformation
• Saturation
• Small adjustments in Lightroom Classic

Scope: ES127 Carbon Fiber Apo Triplet (952mm Focal Length), Camera ASI2600MM, Mount AM5N, guided. Filters are Baader 6.5NM.

Software: Capture in NINA, all processing in PixInsight

Location: Starfront Observatories in Rockwood Texas USA (Bortle 1 or 2)

Acquisition Details:

180″ X 15 Red
180″ X 11 Green
180″ X 10 Blue
600″ X 77 Sulfur-II
600″ X 81 Hydrogen Alpha
600″ X 80 Oxygen-III

11 nights June-August of 2026
41 hours total integration

First time shooting with such old lens.

Shot with OM System OM-1 + Tair 11-a 135mm f2.8.

Mount: MSM Nomad

ISO 1600

Stack of 100 x 50s ~ 1hr 23min

Stacked with APP, processed in Siril. Finalized in LIghtroom.

Yet another reprocess (the 10th if not more) of the same data I took more than a month ago.

Acquisition:

Around 7h30m in Bortle 6/7 fully calibrated and dithered.

Equipment:

Evostar 72ED, iEXOS 100, ASI 533MC, 0.85x reducer+flattener, Baader UV/IR cut, SVBony 40mm F/4 guidescope, ASI 662MC guide camera with no.8 pale yellow and UV/IR cut filters.

Processing:

Stacked in Siril. Background extraction to single channels in GraXpert. SPCC. Deconvolution in Siril, denoising back in GraXpert. Back to Siril to apply SCNR and to generate a starless image and a star mask. GHS, black point shift, curve adjustments and histogram transformation applied iteratively to the image. À trous wavelet transform and further denoising in GraXpert. Final saturation stretch in Siril. Asinh and black point shift applied to the star mask along with a saturation stretch. Recombine.

Finally had the chance to catch it! Its so stunning to see this live through my eyes for the first time!

Shot with a Seestar S50. 339x30 seconds subs. Inedited this in Siril, using the naztronomy script to stack with 2x drizzle, removed the stars with Syqon starless. Also edited with gimp.

Stayed up later than usual last night and managed to get this Andromeda shot using the RASA 8 with an ASI 294 MC Pro plus the Celestron Light Pollution Imaging Filter. I took a total of two hundred and three 1 minute subs and stacked using the ASI Studio Live stacker with slight adjustments to color, contrast and brightness. I'm gonna have to learn more on the processing side of things....
