Re: My astrophotography 2023

Also shot the great Carina nebula region. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AMWts8BEGaj5JkaXgpzN2Brrdp9X-rYOPz00v1Jc3On-Rh2EYRdZ4rDP0J5IiQ8uJW9iIH_sFqmljhtasCsc2C9gAMnEJ7CeQCGVXML-mFOrMFWyYIirictx2SRnLMBKKRfgX2qrfd2xDvLAdsH7lsyCHWPx4w=w2918-h1934-no?authuser=0 And this is how I admire the night s...

Re: My astrophotography 2023

Feb 21-22, 2023. A night under the stars. The clear night skies! I went up to Jemaluang to shoot one image that I dreamed of. This is about the Chinese poem words "参商不相见“, meaning one does not see both the Antares and the Betelgeuse in the sky at the same time. This is true for mid to high lati...

Re: My astrophotography 2023

Shooting the great Carina nebula is like a ritual. This year I tried it with the remote telescope service. Quality not up to expectation, though. Perhaps next occasion I need to invest in O3 filter exposures. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AMWts8DLe1XF90W7XLVpsR59NBP60mBa0TexgcoCglMWn1-xsCKlWf...

Re: My astrophotography 2023

A nearly fruitless trip to Mersing. It was not because of the clouds. It was simply that I forgot to put the spare batteries in my pack -- leaving my camera with only a below-half battery level to start with. With the small amount of battery, I managed to learn and practice Polar Alignment with the ...

Re: My astrophotography 2023

I made mistakes. The biggest one might be the exhausted battery of my star tracker before I ever started the session-- I was hoping for some long tracked shots but ...and I did not carry the micro USB A/B cable which is nearly obsolete. :(

Re: My astrophotography 2023

The dark sky night of Jan 28-29 saw my brother helped me doing the nightscape shots. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AMWts8CcJznfxeLsl63-9zrKY4R2yxe2NgtZAAQrepbL6JicKSpaLzjeBNZ_YR8TJtOTC6rEMZUs1Eb2zsGu-xIPBeZXL-BZDtNWPXANVQiHEH8X9Amo7rAHLwxIjUKMzMn25hwsyWiAzhmeE1nGilwSZXnUuw=w1980-h1380-no?auth...

My astrophotography 2023

I had a long break away from work and home and enjoyed mostly cloudless nights in China. Yet only one night was spent under truly dark skies (Bortle 2). But what a great time in the freezing cold nights. On Jan 24, I managed to capture the Jupiter+Crescent moon+Venus (+Saturn) alignment. Oh the Satu...
