| The Summer Triangle created by stars Deneb, Vega and Altair. Compilation image captured with un-modded and astro-modded Canon DSLRs. The lens used was an Sigma EX zoom widefield lens at f=14mm. 10x2minute RAW lights were captured with each camera at ISO800 which were mounted o a Star Adventurer EQ mount. The lights were stacked using Affinity Photo2 and combined using Registar software. The final image is a square crop of the much wider view shown below. |
" It is very nice to return home from Italy and get stuck into some serious astro-imaging. The other night we were blessed with an hour or two of clear, stable moonlight free night sky. Pipp Stakkert and I spared no time in setting up the Observatory 'mini-rig' and we managed to capture 40 minutes of photons from the Milky Way and the bright stars Deneb, Vega and Altair which make up the asterism 'The Summer Triangle'." - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
