lagoon nebula only like 20 minutes exposure and 135 focal can someone processs this for me please

broken gale
#

tried to have a go at it, you may want to slightly lower your exposure time and stop down your lens. had to crop a fair bit and stars are trailed

yeah probably, this one is quite a bit wider than 135

sinful vale
#

#

im sorry about that

sinful vale
broken gale
#

sinful vale
#

broken gale
#

#

Shall have a look

burnt owl
#

What kind of lens are you using?

sinful vale
#

just my kit lens cause im on vacation and i cant get my telescope wth me

burnt owl
sinful vale
#

let me check i forgot lol

#

4.8

burnt owl
#

interesting, probs its the kit lens thats not real good i suppose. the trailed stars are like all over the place.

solar leaf
#

which kitlens did you use?

#

canon 55-250?

sinful vale
#

nikon 70-300

solar leaf
#

hmm

sinful vale
#

did i put my shutter speed too high?

solar leaf
#

i know the canon version of that lens isnt that good

#

na

burnt owl
solar leaf
#

this is just a colour calibrated and autostretched image

image.png
#

look like it shat it self in stacking

sinful vale
#

tbf i stacked like 1300 pictures cause im not tracked atm

broken gale
sinful vale
#

i think tats the problem

solar leaf
#

did you take flats

sinful vale
#

yea

broken gale
#

focus is a little off

#

but with lenses it's almost impossible to get it spot on manually

sinful vale
#

basically when i was taking flats i was in a hurry so i took realy bad flats like they were all over the place 😭😭

solar leaf
#

flats can clean up thr stacking artifacts as well as clean up the entire.

They are easy to screw up but they help so much in images

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

dw, even i screw up flats

burnt owl
#

maybe somekind of tilt since the upper image isnt trailed as much as the bottom part of the image

#

but i doubt that

broken gale
solar leaf
#

this is the most i can stretch it

sinful vale
#

but btw it isnt the kit lens cause last year i used the same lens on andromeda and the results were really good

solar leaf
#

where did you stack this

sinful vale
#

DSS

solar leaf
#

you can get some sick stuff with a kitlens

sinful vale
solar leaf
sinful vale

#

like median, kappa sigma etc...

burnt owl
#

Also is this untracked?

sinful vale
#

let me check 😭

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

ill show you my lagoon

#

i also did untracked not too long ago

#

36mins at 250mm, cropped down a little bit, not a lot

Lagoon_Trifid_36mins.jpg
burnt owl
#

My guess is while imaging the camera was all over the place and when stacking DSS shat itself

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

thats what happened

solar leaf
sinful vale
#

and like u took like 2000 pics right?

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

1200

sinful vale
#

what shutter?

#

speed

solar leaf
#

oh for mine?

sinful vale
#

yea

solar leaf
#

hold up, ill check my harddrice

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

alright so my total was 1539 lights at 1.6s at 250mm, F/5.6, iso 3200

solar leaf
#

your subs have trailing

sinful vale
#

so 1.6s was too high?

solar leaf
#

and when you are recentering the object, it throws off the stacking

sinful vale
#

so whats the solution?

solar leaf
solar leaf
sinful vale
#

lol

solar leaf
#
  1. when recentering, dont make it too dramatic
#

just very lightly move it

#

it doesnt have to be often

sinful vale
#

i do it every 5 minutes

solar leaf
#
  1. dont touch your camara or tripod at all
sinful vale
#

but how am i supposed to recenter if i cant touch

solar leaf
#

seriosuly, do your flats

#

when its not shooting

sinful vale
#

yea i dont

#

but the most important is flats right?

#

and how many should i take like 50?

solar leaf
#

they are very important calibration frames.

normally i take about 20 but if i take like 500 subs in 1 night, i do 30

#

can do how much you want, more the better

sinful vale
#

ok and like does it matter where i do it?

#

like lets sauy i photofraph in the beach can i do the flats at my house

solar leaf
sinful vale
#

yea thats what i do

solar leaf
#

if your focus changes, you cant do flats

sinful vale
#

OH

#

i know the problem now 😁

#

i changed my focus

#

lol

solar leaf
#

yea dont change your focus

#

do your flats straight after lights/darks

sinful vale
#

im supposed to put the camera mode on A irhgt?

solar leaf
#

i dont do darks so i do flats after

#

what do you mean a

sinful vale
#

theres M A S P

#

auto

#

idk

#

wait

solar leaf
#

huh

sinful vale
#

like

#

automatiic

#

manual

solar leaf
#

whats your camara

sinful vale
#

the thing all the way on the left

#

that says M A S P effects etc etc

sinful vale
solar leaf
#

manual

#

youll want manual

sinful vale
#

flats on manual? but i saw videos saying on automatic

#

and when i do automatic the shutter changes everytime

solar leaf
#

im pretty sure thats with canon camaras... not sure about nikon

#

i tried that on my canon camara and it underexposed my flats

sinful vale
#

any specific shutter spweed i should put?

solar leaf
#

prefer being manual mode

#

should use the live view histograme and make the histogram in the last section on thr right

#

that might be helpful

#

acc wait no thats canon camaras

sinful vale
#

thx

#

oh

solar leaf
#

use that as a reference

#

if theres like black lines on the live view moving around, you are underexposing

sinful vale
#

ok once its night ill try

solar leaf
#

good luck

#

also dont worry about not getting correct flats, its something everyone screws up

#

i only started doing flats on my 50th night photographing the sky

#

i used to just stack lights and bias

#

also, ive been doing untracked for a year, ive learnt a lot

#

feel free to ping me if you need help

sinful vale

#

no, it has to be balanced. in the center.

#

also take the lens and cover it with a white t shirt, then point it at a light source like a white screen and then balance it.
