Laguna Nebula, third try.
Always a special feeling with this nebula. It is currently my first shot with my Hyperstar lens. I started astrophotography with my APN Canon EOS 550D attached to the Schmidt-Cassegrain C9 on this object. When I got the Hyperstar from Starizona, it was a slap in my face getting these details.
Laguna Nebula, second try.
I got the reducer 0,67 attached, the ZWO 183MC Pro … and I was wondering if I got the right object. Clearly, the reducer helped to get a lot of light, faster a bit, but the colors felt wrong … the core is full of details, so I was okay about this at least. It was about 40 shots of 20s, camera cooled at 10 degrees C, and I made an effort to get flats/darks and biases shots. It was on July before I burnt my credit card on the Hyperstar. Stars are round, black seemed black to me … yeah, overall it was a big effort, getting all the setup C9+AltAz mount+ Equatorial Wedge + Reducer + Cooled Camera (44kg of setup)
Laguna Nebula, first shot
I have a special feeling about this nebula. First, it’s because it was my first shot with my Schmidt-Cassegrain and my APN Canon on September 2021, when I was in Sardegna. The result is what it is, but getting the red spot was a thrilling moment
