[upper zephyr]

Sure cool. How long were your subs?

[lean root]

1 second

[lean root]

sure cool? u dont believe it?

i used astroshader to shoot 60 second stacks with 1 sec exposures and then took the 60sec stacks and stacked all of them in siril

[upper zephyr]

Never doubted it for a second. I'm quite aware of the capabilities of nerds 😂👌👌

[lean root]

oh ok lol

[upper zephyr]

Astroshader. What's that? An app?

[lean root]

yeah the best astro app imo, i ccan control everything with it

you can even process pics in it

[upper zephyr]

Dang. Never heard of it. I gotta get my hands on that

[lean root]

these were my deep fried 1min stacks

[upper zephyr]

Sickkkkk

Bro that's so cool

[lean root]

i only got 25mins on m106 so i only barely got the outer part of the galaxy

https://discord.com/channels/794642864218439681/1047623389898088579 theres a whole forum here for the app where you can talk to the creator of the app and share pics

[upper zephyr]

Yeah I've only got DeepSkyCamera

[upper zephyr]

Interesting

[lean root]

androids are better at astro i think but astroshader is by far the best astro app imo

[upper zephyr]

Seems like it

[lean root]

nice man

[upper zephyr]

We got this with a phone

[lean root]

we?

[upper zephyr]

Just with the stock camera tho

No third party apps

Me and my brother in law. We're both into astrophotography

[lean root]

nice

[upper zephyr]

Both beginners 😂

[lean root]

my cousin got me into visual astronomy and then i got myself into astrophotography

[upper zephyr]

Yeah it totally just came naturally to me because when I saw Saturn's ring through a telescope I just thought to myself I 100% have to take a picture of this lol

[lean root]

heres my first picture of orion lol

[lean root]

same

[upper zephyr]

Where it all begins

This was mine

[lean root]

eventhough me and my cousin live in b9, in the summer we go to my grandparents house in b4 and do astro and when he got his binoculars he showed me andromeda galaxy and then i was hooked so i got a 6" dob and then we saw the planets and orion and then i started taking photos of what i saw too

[upper zephyr]

Love it. It's just such a special feeling to look at those things. It's crazy how long I didn't even know what was up there. I literally didn't even know about Andromeda until this Christmas 😂

[lean root]

i recently got myself an astrocam and ill soon get a big eq mount so ill get way better pics

[lean root]

heres my scope with the new astrocam

[upper zephyr]

Man I can't wait till I can get my hands on an Astro am and a decent scope

Look EPIC

[lean root]

what scope u have?

[upper zephyr]

Looks*

Well I use my brother in law's scope which is a Skywatcher Heritage 130p (the non-tracking one) but I do have a "trash" scope that I got at a thrift store for 25 bucks. It's a Tasco

[lean root]

are you looking to buy a scope?

[upper zephyr]

Can't wait to get rid of it to replace it with something better. But still worth the 25. Still have had some fun with it

[upper zephyr]

Yes and no. I'll be moving to the USA from Europe in around 3 months so I'm waiting to get something until after I've moved

[lean root]

oh ok

[lean root]

whats your budget going to be?
