1 hour and some dust on ngc 4485/4490

[amber adder]

I can re process.

[gloomy ledge]

can you show your process

@amber adder

[amber adder]

I haven't had time

😦

[gloomy ledge]

did you not take flats

[amber adder]

I did.

It's just trash data. I wasn't even going for that lol.

[gloomy ledge]

bunch of these popping up

[amber adder]

Pretty sure it's dust

[amber adder]

lets goooo

[gloomy ledge]

def not my best process

[gloomy ledge]

want me to do false color on it

[amber adder]

also not that easy

[amber adder]

do as you please

[gloomy ledge]

anyways someone else is gonna beat me at this process easily

but least you know you got something

also I'd do a bigger target next time so you can get more detail out of it

[amber adder]

brother. I had 30 seconds to stretch the image this morning. I have 2 days off soon so I am gonna hit everything I havent been able to process

[amber adder]

I legit hit this by accident.

[gloomy ledge]

oh what were you going for

[amber adder]

the cats eye.

But I was limited time from getting home from work/clouds. This popped up in my screen and I said " I have no idea what this is but here we go ".

[gloomy ledge]

still a really small target

[amber adder]

very small.

but cool!

especially with my 50ed lol

[gloomy ledge]

this is my view on it with my uranus c and 50ed lol

[amber adder]

yeah its a tiny target for sure.

[gloomy ledge]

my 50ed is deeper than most because of my fov

[amber adder]

do you keep the extra 40mm on it? I take it off.

I also use a dslr though.

I may pick up a nice astro cam for my bday.

[gloomy ledge]

what 40mm

you mean that extension thing

[amber adder]

yeah that brings it to 242mm doesnt it? without its at 202mm

[gloomy ledge]

no focal length is same

[amber adder]

bruh what

[gloomy ledge]

the extension is meant for camera focus

[amber adder]

WHO LIED TO ME

[gloomy ledge]

who tf told you that

[amber adder]

I dont even remember

but I was new to this

[gloomy ledge]

this is my view of cygnus wall, just to show how deep my fov is

[amber adder]

and it was in this discord

it made no sense to me

woah

I love the 50ed

[gloomy ledge]

cheapcat

[amber adder]

its so nice. I want to get a nice triplet though

[gloomy ledge]

your the guy using the gp cam right

[amber adder]

I have a canon t6

[gloomy ledge]

oh nvm

I was thinking of astro ben

[amber adder]

yesss wrong guy lol

[gloomy ledge]

the 50ed really gets its power when its with a astro cam

[amber adder]

whats a good one?

[gloomy ledge]

well if you are on a tight budget, uranus-c / 585mc is good, but if you can afford to save a bit more, get a 533mc pro since its cooled

[amber adder]

my max would be like.... 400-450.

[gloomy ledge]

thats the price of the uranus c / 585mc

so thats good

[amber adder]

how much is a bit more?

I also was thinking of just buying a roki.

[gloomy ledge]

roki is really good

you unmodded?

[amber adder]

with this dslr yes

I can mod it though. I sold my moded.

[gloomy ledge]

this is what the 50ed and my camera can do btw (this is with a filter)

[amber adder]

which filter?

[gloomy ledge]

uh let me check

[amber adder]

[gloomy ledge]

ZWO Duo-Band 1.25"

[amber adder]

I was thinking of getting an Opt L-extreme or L-enhance

[gloomy ledge]

those are good as well

prob better than the zwo duo band

[amber adder]

I have the CLS XT clip for dslr's and some other ones as well.

[gloomy ledge]

only problem with uranus c

is that the fov is gonna make my SWSA have to work harder

I am basically at a FOV of a 400mm telescope

so I am gonna do 45-60s exposures

[amber adder]

mine does that now.

I can get it up to like 1min30 seconds with a good Polar Alignment and a still night though.

[gloomy ledge]

I am going to be doing TPPA

so my polar alignment is mostly going to be perfect every time

[amber adder]

for me its dependent on how tired I am lol

PA isnt hard though

sometimes without a chair it sucks though

[gloomy ledge]

TPPA is easier for me

than trying to nail polar alignment

just slew my mount on RA until it platesolves with the 3 stars I need

[amber adder]

yeah its hard getting it perfect sometimes.

[amber adder]

420mb @gloomy ledge

[gloomy ledge]

use snipping tool

[amber adder]

I do. It gets rid of way to much detail

[amber adder]

@coral trellis

This file above is something I was just messing with. The OG data is at the top.

[coral trellis]

oh dear

This is

challenging data

[amber adder]

It's so small

A small bit of my PA was off lol. I was on loke maybe an hour of no clouds.

Maybe 45ish minutes on it.

Plus dust

Also was shot with my 50ed

[coral trellis]

yeah I mean

there isnt much to get out of this data

[amber adder]

I didn't think so. I just wanted it to come out a bit.

I knew it wasn't enough to get any wild details

But other people in here are wizards with processing. I suck at it.

[coral trellis]

I can take a better look when i've finished processing my pacman

[amber adder]

I appreciate it man! You're the GOAT.
