I was out last night taking an attempt at just pointing my camera up and hoping to capture somthing when I got these , I don’t know if nebula is the right tag so please let me know if it is 😁

The lack of stars is odd, are these processed?

Also what gear did you use?

[rare aurora]

these look like what happens when you image a star cluster and your camera shakes around, causing every star to trail in random directions

something like this

trails

why do some of the stars in that ong look good

[rare aurora]

I have no clue honestly. My best guess is that AstroShader successfully stacked the first few hundred images of that session, and then after that everything started trailing, so you have a combination of star trails and properly stacked stars with diffraction spikes.

This image was from a couple years ago, AstroShader was still quite new. I haven't used AstroShader in a while, actually. Been focusing more on visual astronomy than astrophotography.

I used a cannon eos 600d and a super old hero flex 300mm lens

These are just the images straight out of the camera, I don’t know how to process and all that

All of the stars in the image are trailed, but the fainter ones' trails are too faint to be seen. In general, all star trails are fainter than the star that produces them, because the energy is being distributed on a larger area, so you only really see the trails of very bright stars.
