Taking a Picture of PLEIADES From My Backyard...
Рет қаралды 180,187
3 жыл бұрынOn Friday night, I took a picture of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus.
The final image includes 91 x 2-minute exposures, for a grand total of just over 3 hours.
Capturing broadband deep-sky objects from the city can be challenging. However, with careful processing, you can reveal the beautiful natural colors of your object buried beneath the bright sky.

@Had Tobe Flat water sure us level. But due to its large size and your size, you can't see the curvature with the bare eye. And water wouldn't spill off sure to gravity. Everything is getting pulled down to the core with gravity.

@jujubean7664 3 жыл бұрын
@@loco3514 No. The Pleiades looks nice through a telescope, but it won't look nearly as good as the image. This is true will all astrophotography you see. This is because the camera is much more sensitive than our eyes, and it can do long exposures of multiple minutes. To get images like these you stack a few hours worth of individual images on top of each other. This allows the camera to see extremely faint things like the nebulosity in this image. Hope this helps!

Hi Trevor - I'm usually not one to comment on your U-tubes because you do such a great job; you don't really need any constructive criticism... but this time I'm breaking with my usual silence... ...LOVED the quick shot of the Downy WP... 'Wish you would include just a few more of your birding shots in your U-tubes... It's all about the photography equipment, don't ya know!! Also, YES I remember the first time you brought out the gold accent WO132. This new version looks like a BEAST!! You've got to be approaching the weight limits of your EQ6 with 3 counter weights in place. You've taught me so much over the last several years. I finally broke-down and purchased a ES102 refractor; and, I got my first decent shot of Andromeda Galaxy a few nights ago. ...been working on it for 4 years, and finally understand the important role the equipment plays. Any way... Love your efforts and Love your U-tubes. Keep up the good work!
