• processed with Siril and PS
• BXT, NXT, SXT

Equipment:

• Samyang 135mm @f2.8
• Fuji X-T5 (unmodified)
• dual narrowband clip in filter
• Star Adventurer 2i

Image:

• 735 x 60s lights @ISO 800
• 409 x 60s lights narrowband @ISO 3200
• Bortle 2
• stacked in Siril
• BXT, NXT
• final composition in PS

On our journey to shot the best images we can with our non ideal setup we collected more data on the heart nebula. Main problem with our setup is the distance of the sensor which is not perfect and results in bad star shapes in the corners. Stepping down to 2.8 and using BXT helps a lot. Combined with old data we gathered a total exposure time of 14 hours.

• Samyang 135mm @f2.8 and f2.0
• Fuji X-T5 (unmodified)
• STC dual narrowband filter

Editing:

• stacked, remove green noise, BGE in Siril
• BXT, SXT in Pixinsight
• streched with GHS in Siril
• NXT, colouring, contrast, recombining stars in PS

Shoot with a Samyang 135mm lens and a Fuji X-T5.

This is a first test to shoot NGC 7293 with a 135mm lens. Sadly we could only gather 15 min exposure time as the time frame for shooting this nebula is super short and we had a lot of clouds. Hopefully we have better conditions next year. But this test makes us hopeful to get a decent image with our equipment.

As I don‘t have a water outlet on my balcony I use a water tank and a pump for watering my strawberries. I developed a controller for the pump which runs natively on Apple Homekit but I‘d like to change it to Matter and Threads in the future.

This was my first try developing my own pcb with the toner transfer method. I did this project many years back but it works perfectly to this day.

It filters an audio signal and drives led strips so they pulsate to the beat of a song.

Got another shot at C/2023 A3.

We got extremely lucky and got a tiny window of cloudless sky in an never ending sequence of cloudy nights. Also the conditions were a nightmare with severe light pollution and lights shining directly at our equipment.

And maybe somebody here can explain to us what the ionized gas is that 'shoots out‘ in front of the comet?

Also do the colours seem to be correct? We tried our best at background extraction and maintaining the true colour, but the raw data was of poor quality. From images of other comets the dust tails normally seems to have a yellow/orange colour and only the plasma tail is blue.

Edit: found the answer to the Anti-tail. It shows the trail of dust were the comet has traveled, which appears to come out at the opposing side because of earths angle relative to the comet and sun.
