Oh, I figure with this digital stuff I can always hit the delete key and the evidence goes out the fan in a green cloud, and with it any embarrassing items in the picture.
(Or in my case, often a picturd.)
Using Astronomy cameras has made things much easier for me, no settings to worry over. And since using this Infinity, things are so much easier for me and my simple minded "Shoot it and see" ways.
I'm dabbling with some of the controls and seeing how I can fine tune in the cameras program. And it stacks as it goes along compiling images. I've learned to adjust the exposure time to increase color or to decrease glare from Star fields.
But you have a unique and special way with getting a tight focus with your imaging. Always fun to look into your widefield images and marvel at the detail.
Last night I was getting ready to call it an evening, and had sent my mount to its Home position when I saw the Double Cluster was very near to Polaris (Home Position). So I aborted shutting down in favor of some images of what my telescope and camera does in comparison to your DSLR use.
I think the objrct gets tired after trekking from Britain to California, because it was laying down here.
Not sure if you know about my listing nomenclature or not. But "Double Cluster 5 60s 300s" = Double Cluster - The object targeted; 5 = number of images, 60s = time in seconds of each frame, 300s = the total time of all images in a given image. Back in the day when I was learning and figuring my way around my first Astro Camera, the only way to image was to Stack With Time, as Matthew in North Dakota said.
Of course none of this explains the myriad of other settings in the program, many of which are run on Automatic, but tweak-able by my deft bear paws steered by brute force and clumsiness, with a bit of old man shake added to the mouse.
But when you see those hieroglyphics accompanying an image, that's what they mean. And how I catalog my images. Folder Dated, like 10-03-19 (Or 19-10-03 for you Chaps who like that method
), and the images of the evening therein.
Some of the renaming of objects simply drives me bonkers. Patrick Starfish Cluster? Aristotle and Messier must be rolling over in their graves. NGC 1245 In appearance it looks like a field of stars and no cluster atall. I take solace in that I won't have to learn these silly names. (Patrick Starfish is a charicture in a cartoon series call
Spongebob Squarepants. )
Anyway, I was thinking of your Double Cluster, and grabbed these quick images. You can see how limited my FOV is. But I specialize towards Nebula. So I got set up toward that end.
