Truly beautiful. Never heard of these Wolf Rayat stars so thanks for the introduction. I too saw one of the Starlink Trains at Cherry Springs while shooting at the CS Vista on Sept 16th. The sky will never be the same. I'm so sorry for your loss...Zeke was beautiful.

Absolutely amazing Trevor. You inspired me to become an astrophotographer. It’s been 9 months since I have started my journey and I have 230 subs. I am so grateful I found your amazing channel. Keep capturing those stars! Clear skies.

@Wheeljack678 Год назад

Stunning image, and a lovely tribute. Sorry for your loss. If you want to add another time-saver to your workflow; After Star Aligning, do a Star Removal, either with StarNet V2 (free), or RC Astro's StarXterminator (license), both available as plugins for Pixinsight, on the HOO and the RGB. Then open the starless HOO and the RGB stars as layers in Photoshop and blend them as you normally would.

@AstroBooth Год назад

I wanted to second this. I process similar to the above. I use a one shot color camera with an L-Extreme filter due to my light-polluted skies. So to get better stars I shoot a few hours with the L-Pro filter. After I align the images I will remove the stars using RC Astro's StarXterminator and then use pixel math to insert the RGB stars back into the image. Love your videos, thanks for keeping us motivated in this hobby.

@skenderovicbusantelivia5282 Год назад

MUL4 is the target Designation. I entered it into NINA 2 nights ago and it took me directly to it. I captured 5.5 hours on it 7/19-7/20/24. Used Paulman astro's Foraxx color palette on it in pixinsight. Great video Trevor!!! Clear skies!!!!!!

Yet another great video Trevor, thank you very much for posting. And sorry for your loss of Zeke. I’ll be facing the same dilemma likely in the coming weeks. A question for you. What filters do you use? They’re not listed in your equipment used list and there are many options out there. Thanks again. Cheers. Ps. What part of the province are you in? You mentioned Steve at the beginning and I think I know which Steve that is! lol.

Excellent image Trevor, I love this Target, you got a lot of details for 13hrs, Ive just done a colab on this target, 51 hrs of HOO, video going out in a couple of days! How did you get the difraction spikes in the image with your refractor? They definately add to the image! I was using my Esprit120 refrctor, my colab partner 'Astrobloke' was using an SCT. Great video mate. Clear skies!

@alandyer910 Год назад

Excellent image! Apparently WR134 was one of the first emission line stars Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet found, in 1867. So technically, the designation refers to the star not the nebula, which I can’t imagine they could have seen, even with the 40cm telescope they used. But it doesn’t seem to have any other designation, like a Sharpless or Cederblad number. It’s not marked on the Millennium Star Atlas. Nor on the hugely detailed TriAtlas, as best I can tell, as it is so crowded. Anyway, great capture! Definitely an OIII filter object.

@astrotan Год назад

Absolutely amazing as always, this hobby can be all about pushing ourselves to the limits! I also agree with the starlink stuff, I’ve seen about 3 Passovers at my house and it’s definitely a growing issue, maybe our image stacking programs will remove these in the future for us if they get really bad, but hopefully not for a while :)

@andrewlongman6308 Год назад

Something to note on the starlink satellites: these are recently launched and moving to their grid locations. After there are in place they stop emitting light - the lighting is to wow people on the ground during the launch sequence. In fact, there are hundreds of starlink satellites in your FoV every night, throughout the night in Ontario, you just cant detect them with your scopes as they don't emit light. Kind of funny to see people complaining about the launches but fail to understand just how many are already in orbit that are completely invisible to us on the ground.

@3DAstroTC Год назад

I've adopted a similar technique the past few months, RGB stars over narrowband nebulae. Works great so far! I need to revisit this one for more OIII data, c'mon Hyperstar!

@Greg-rx4pt Год назад

I commented before I heard your comments, so I felt the need to come back and comment more. I have for decades now looked up outside my house to watch the satellites go over my house this is not a new thing. I have to say that I don't see any more today then I did before Starlink. Yes you see the train like you showed here, but that is before they have spread out to their final altitude. SpaceX did listen to the worries of astronomers and have done a lot to try make them naked eye invisible. I guess time will tell, I thinks its to late to turn back now.

@travisstraube4973 Год назад

Hey, I live in Alberta Canada. And I see the star link satellites almost every night, I have seen them hundreds of times, and they do not look like your video, when I first saw them a year ago, they looked close together like your video. But now when they pass over you can only see a few at a time as they are so spread out. They take much longer to travel across the sky. I will try to catch a video, it is crazy how much different it looks from southwestern Canada!

@gregerianne3880 11 месяцев назад

Oh, so very sorry about Zeek, Trevor. Guess we're all star bound eventually, though. Great capture and so, so interesting! Beautiful image as well. I'm pretty new to monochrome imaging and I've got a lot to learn, but I saw first-hand that the stars in narrowband leave a lot to be desired so I started capturing RGB stars. However, I haven't yet tried to integrate them back into the narrowband images. Is there a way to do this directly in PixInsight? Thanks so much as always for the great information and tutorial, Trevor!

I know you guys hate it, but my industry has literally been revolutionized by Starlink. It's been an absolutely, absurdly, massively, game changing technology. In addition. My parents live in a rural area, where they only had access to dial up, even today. They got a starlink and for the first time have had access to high speed internet and basically shat themselves.

At first I thought this was cool seeing this in person but then I realized that it's going to ruin the acceptable norm of the night sky. What will our sky look like in 25 to 30 years ?
