Night Camera: First light with AT8RC
http://nightcamera.blogspot.com/2010/09/first-light-with-at8rc_03.html
Unguided astrophotography with a calculator and a beer. To see latest weather radar Vail, AZ from Weather Underground. Get Polaris transit times at the U.S. Naval Oceanography Portal. Friday, September 3, 2010. First light with AT8RC. As such, 100 or so frames were certainly not enough to produce good results, but 200 frames were just fine for a reshoot of the Pinwheel Galaxy, Messier 33 (M33). Guess it is a bit reddish though. Should work on my color balance. September 3, 2010 at 5:42 PM. M31, M32, M110.

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Close-up On Rosette Nebula. Nearly 400 frames from our new front driveway in the cul-de-sac. Given the amount of ambient light we had to deal with, I think it would be better to take this shot with a filter. Pushed post-processing on this one and added my own unsharp mask manually. Well, calibratin...

Astronomy and Astrophotography for the Beginner and Try-Hard Amateur! Monday, August 10, 2015. The last couple of months have not been too conducive to stargazing for me.I went home to Australia for a while with the best intentions of doing some astro work, but the Melbourne weather had other plans, which included "hosting" an Antarctic polar vortex which brought heavy rain to the area for much of my visit. I caught a fleeting glimpse of the Southern Cross, but that was about it. Mortal as I am, I know t...
