Andrew Bird - Inside Problems

One of the best new albums out there.
Relaxed style that grows on you with repeated listening. Some absolute ear-worms too.

Recommended.

Ha ha! Seek help Grant! [emoji1787]

As I’m completely happy with my system these days, I’m left with no option but to post here! [emoji1787]

Here’s a couple of recent captures.

To be honest, I do feel my processing has matured a...

Have grown rather fond of Andrew Bird’s stuff over the last few years.

Thanks!

The biggest issue in the UK is definitely the weather. You have to be setup and ready to go at a minute’s notice.

My setup is limited in it’s view hut I can be up and imaging from the...

Have been concentrating on the newly appearing targets in Cygnus.

It’s pretty fast moving so you need to set up especially if you want a decent shot.

My setup is a bit too widefield in current configuration.

In principle, I could probably have a go but it’s...

It’s no effort really. You just throw it in a slow cooker with half an onion, a jalapeno, garlic and a cup of fresh orange juice. When it’s falling apart, shred it with forks then refry it on a hot...

There's nothing that can't be improved with pastry! :clapclapclap:

This is actually a composite of a two hour 'narrowband' image capturing Hydorgen Alpha and Oxygen III, together with the stars extracted from a normal 1 hour RGB capture.

I still...

Latest images…

This is The Wall (to be said in a Danny Dyer voice) in Cygnus, processed in the SHO (Hubble palette).

I’d given it some superficial thought Barry but wasn’t really sure how much of a pain it would be right now. Certainly happy to provide the odd prints (preferably acrylic as they’re the best value I...

It's definitely a game of two halves Paul. The processing is just as big a source of frustration and learning as the capture.

I have used Deep Sky Stacker before but my preference is Astro Pixel...

Yes Grant, the camera uses a Peltier cooling system for the chip.

As long as you want really Barry. The camera I’m using is cooled to -10 from ambient temperature.

This helps with noise reduction. The biggest factors are really noise and signal to noise ratio. ...

That’s M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula.

It’s classed as a planetary nebula because of it’s shape.

The Crescent Nebula

This setup is not ideal for galaxies but this old Skywatcher 80ED punches well above it’s weight.

Bought this just before the real mass production started, the quality assurance did a good job, I...
