My god, it's full of stars. M24, the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, and neighbouring bits and pieces. Just over 4 hours 10 minutes of total exposure time over the last two nights with the little Seestar S30 Pro and its UV/IR cut filter. Not bad considered how irritatingly bright the Moon was being at the time. Processed in Siril with SyQon and VeraLux scripts. I should have been using the light pollution filter under conditions like that, but I've already done all the big HII regions that are conveniently placed at this time of year so I've been trying to do stars and dust despite the Moon. #Astrophotography #Seestar #SeestarS30Pro #Siril #VeraLux #SyQon #ThirtyMilliMetreTelescope #TMMT

The end result was still quite nice though and the Aurora was incredible! #IC434 #siril #ekos #astrophotography #aurora #northernlights

As an astrophotography newbie I have to give the Siril astronomical image processing software an enormous amount of credit. Not only as a great example of free open source software that offers a genuine alternative to expensive commercial apps, but also for the quality of its documentation. There's no "just ask questions on our Discord server instead" here! There is comprehensive written documentation online and it goes well beyond listing each function, it goes into detail of when and why to use them, how they work, and how to get the best results. And, if that's still not enough, you can buy the book! The lead developer has produced a 200 page A4 lavishly illustrated glossy guide book. My copy arrived today, and I plan to pass the time waiting for clear skies by reading it. https://siril.readthedocs.io #Astrophotography #Siril #FOSS #OpenSource

That's better. I'm going to call this done now. "Eta Carina in Context", all shot with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope (Seestar S30 Pro) from suburban Sydney (Bortle 7), mostly during full Moon, using the built in light pollution filter. Processing in Siril with SyQon and VeraLux. 50% scale version in this post, full resolution (6047×3411) here: https://drhotdog.smugmug.com/Nature/Seeing-Stars/i-RXPkcWj/A #Astrophotography #ThirtyMilliMetreTelescope #TMMT #Seestar #SeestarS30Pro #Siril #SyQon #VeraLux

The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) during the June heatwave in northern Germany. This reflection nebula is located about 1,300 ly from Earth, where a bright star illuminates the surrounding dust. This image was created over 4 consecutive nights from Bortle 5 with a total exposure time of 5 h 21 m 30 s (643 x 30 s).
