IC405 - Flaming Star Nebula

avatar
(Edited)


Hey Steemians,

It has been a long time since my last post. I had a lot of work to do before the end of the year and Christmas season, and still not completely got it done right now.
Anyway, I got some hours of clear sky in between all these cloudy and/or misty nights. This year winter-sky seems to be one of the worst in the last years. Due to this, I was only able to get 35 minutes of exposure time for the Flame Nebula. However, there are already some details that cam out in post-processing. Unfortunately, the overall noise in the image is still at a very high level. Well... I hope next year will be better weather conditions and I'm able to get at least 10 hours of total exposure time.
I also wanted to test the new release of the @actifit app, that was released yesterday in the App Store.

My mentor mod'd my dslr. We were able to do this using 15 minutes worth of exposure time.
