Thank you to everyone that participated in this project. The image processing notes provided are listed with each image. To find the rest of the images, just search #astrobackyardchallenge on Instagram and Twitter. However, at this size, you should still be able to get a “bird’s eye view” of what the overall edit accomplished in portraying. Due to an overwhelming response of images, I have only shared the images posted to Facebook.Īlso, I apologize that the images are so small! This blog simply wasn’t designed to host high-resolution images the way Astrobin or Flickr do. The following images are versions of my data processed by followers of the AstroBackyard Facebook Page.

Your Edits of the Soul Nebula The same data, processed using various methods and software It did not rise above the horizon during this imaging session. The weather was cold (2☌), the transparency was average and there was 15% Illuminated in the Waning Crescent phase.

The telescope was mounted to a Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro Equatorial Mount, and autoguiding was used for accurate tracking.

The exposures were 2 minutes each, at ISO 800. A light pollution filter used in my modified Canon EOS Rebel T3i (600D) was the SkyTech CLS-CCD. The images were shot in a red zone ( Bortle 8) in the center of a city with a population of 150K. This is a great example of how each of my astrophotography images begins when captured from my backyard. However, I have opened the file in Adobe Photoshop to confirm that it is useful data. The images were registered and stacked using Bilinear Interpolation, with the Black Point set to Zero.Īt this point, I have not attempted to process the image myself, so I don’t have a finished example yet. The image is comprised of 150 light frames, 15 darks, 15 flats, and 15 bias.

Feel free to download the RAW data and follow along for yourself. In the video below, I’ll walk you through the steps I take in Adobe Photoshop CC to produce my final version of the image. Here are a few of the most popular options when it comes to processing an astrophoto:Īstrophotography Image Processing Tutorial (Video) One of the many joys of this hobby is the freedom to choose the software that you feel most comfortable using. My goal is that someone is able to produce a much better than image than I could with this raw data. Processing this image is a great way to hone your image processing skills in Adobe Photoshop, or whichever image processing software you happen to use (PixInsight). Feel free to share your edit of the photo on social media, with the hashtag #astrobackyardchallenge. Below you will find a link to the RAW image data that you can process using the image processing software of your choice.ĭownload > My Unprocessed Stack of the Soul Nebula The data is by no means perfect – and I am sure that it will be quite frightening to those who are accustomed to images taken with either a cooled camera or darker skies. The focal length of this telescope was a great fit for this deep-sky object, when in use with a crop-sensor DSLR like the Canon EOS T3i. This Meade Quadruplet APO provides an exceptionally flat field of view with an APS-C sensor DSLR, without the use of a Field Flattener. The data for this photo was captured on November 14th, 2017 using a Meade 70mm Astrograph Quadruplet APO refractor. The image download below is exactly 5 hours of integrated exposure time on the Soul Nebula. Here is an opportunity to have a crack at processing some data captured from my light polluted backyard.
