The L-eNhance filter from Optolong is an absolute beast! So happy with this first light, minus the Scottish winds of course ;). More to come from this one, watch this space! -H

Awesome Helena! I've actually had the Bubble Nebula on my mind the past day as I just received a new book in the mail called "Cosmic Clouds 3-D" which is a book nebula photographs in stereoscopic 3D, and the Bubble Nebula with it's perfect sphere shape is one of the most convincing 3D conversions in the book. I was starting at it for minutes on end yesterday. I think you will get a lot of use out of your new filter! Clear skies, Nico

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

Thanks Nico!! That's incredible, I'll have to search that one up! Certainly is an awesome target :)

Inspiring! Im a junior in highschool starting in AP, i got my star adventurer about a month ago, a 180mm f/2.8 lens a few weeks ago, and i just won an auction on a d5300 to replace my d3100!

@bushcraftandastronomer.3775 4 года назад

That's a beautiful shot of the bubble nebula! Plus Andromeda too. Few nights ago I photographed Mars with Pixel 4 and it turned out nice. I'm using Coowoo usb dew heating straps and Chris from DIY Astro advices me to get them as I bought 2 because I needed them to be light weight and Chris has been a fantastic help to me!!! He has been so helpful ever since I got star adventurer and evostar 72ed ds pro refractor. Your channel encourages me to go further in astrophotography and learn how's it done. Scottish talent from my country is a must for me! Stay safe and clear skies in bonney wee Scotland!!!

@Astrolavista 4 года назад

Hey John, you're very welcome of course, and I'm looking forward to seeing your first image with the SA mount and ED72 :) No pressure mind ;)

@Astrolavista 4 года назад

Congrats on the L eNhance filter, Helena. I reckon OSC cameras will become even more popular with the increasing sensitivity and these tri band filters on the scene. The bubble nebula is such a cool object, I remember imaging it with an old Bright Star Mammut CCD camera and with it's tiny sensor the bubble looked massive on the screen. Very good video by the way, you're very good at doing pieces to camera.

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

@zxng3530 4 года назад

That’s a nice filter you got there 🤩 me, I prefer a more broadband filter like the L-pro but I do acknowledge the benefits of this type of filter in a severely light-polluted area (like mine). Keep it up!

@aniket789 4 года назад

Hi Helena! I live in Nottingham someday wanna visit your place to see amazing astronomy 🔭 stuff. In midlands it’s almost cloudy all the time. But one good thing in England is less light pollution as compared to Boston Massachusetts where I lived previously. Thanks for wonderful videos keep rocking!!

@AdirondackAstronomy 4 года назад

One of my favorite nebula, and that filter really brings out the nebula and knocks back a bit of the brightness of the stars in order to allow the nebula to take center stage of the show. Great capture! I was hoping to catch a glimpse of this nebula visually, but I'm afraid my light polluted skies completely wash it out. Definitely something I can image from home, but can't get that visual for a sketch from my yard. Keep up the great work on your channel, and clear skies!

@AndreaGirones 4 года назад

I visited your beautiful country last summer and I remember how late the sun set so you have some real challenges in the summer months! You have inspired me to go try to take a picture of the bubble nebula now. Great images and great videos!

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

Thank you so much Andrea! Scotland is indeed, a beautiful country. Good luck on your astro adventure!

Great job on this video. It really set the mood well. Had me in a nice peaceful state that I like to be in when I’m outside alone looking at the stars late at night. Excellent job on your bubble nebula. That filter works well

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

Thank you so much Marko!! Really loved your most recent M31. You are progressing so quickly!

@Mrgladeines 4 года назад

Lots of detail in the nebula, the filter is clearly doing it’s job. Great work. I believe you can bring out more star colours with this one. But as I found out that is one of the hardest things to do when processing.

@thecampingastronomer8554 3 года назад

Very interesting video 👍. Came across your channel today and had a look at it, just subscribed 😀. Its interesting that you are able to get results with this filter when your subs are 60 secs. This is what I often shoot at (although I use a dslr) and I always thought that these types of filters needed 3-5 minute subs so your video is very encouraging. One concern I do have is that the stars are reduced so much that you struggle to see then in live view and can't get focus very easily. Is this an issue for you ?

@DJRonnieG 4 года назад

I almost forgot, I accidentally "found" that nebula a couple of weeks ago while I was imaging a nearby target. However, it still has been a bad month. First it was the humidity... then the west coast wildfires (and some due to arson) from California and Oregon. The smoke actually formed thin blanket and sent it all the way over here to New York. The smoke is at an altitude of about 22,000 feet. It can go unseen on days with blue skies, but around sunset it becomes visible closer to the horizon, probably because it's thicker when viewed at an angle. The smoke shows up much like thin clouds when using PHD2 and I have only shoot with narrowband filters at present. I'm actually looking forward to the brisk winter weather.

@astrodad-simonb277 2 года назад

Hi Helena, does the filter increase the background dark? I use a fully modded DLSR cropped which gets alot of noise and i have to process out the redness and noise which loses some data. thanks! Simon

@dariusdrs6756 3 года назад

Hello, Helen, please write what were your Gain ond Offset settings for making this picture with the filter.

@enriqueboeneker 4 года назад

Loved your picture, Helena! I have the l-enhance too and I absolutely love it as well! Just one question... did I hear right, you used the l-enhance on Andromeda?

@Tim_the_Astronurd 4 года назад

i got that impression too, which shouldnt have worked out too well!

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

Hey Enrique! Sorry, I worded it weirdly in the video. That photo of M31 was taken before the l-eNhnace arrived. The l-eNhnace is only built for nebulae so wouldn't have used it on a galaxy :)

@gabrielperuzzo9759 4 года назад

Great Helena. Really very good work. Congratulations. Some questions, what software do you use to control the camera? And do you make plate solving? Gracias Gabriel

@HelenasAstrophotography 4 года назад

Hey Gabriel! Thank you :). I use APT (Astrophotography Tool) for the camera and I do use the plate solving feature built into APT :)

@Castyo 4 года назад

@cult4037 3 года назад

Great video!🙌🏼 How do you know which settings to use like the exposure time of 60s, aperture etc? how do you know what is alright and can be used?

@Michael_Franke 2 года назад

It is not as imported as with "normal" photography. She could have taken 40 oder 80 seconds with a comparable result. The light is collected in the series of single pictures she takes and then stacked with a special software. If you choose too long exposures and fewer shots you risk a satellite or plane crossing and you have to drop lots of data, or the bright areas in the nebula dominate too much. If you shoot too short and take lots of frames you increase the read out noise that comes when downloading the files... You'd say: Shoot as long as possible, but not longer. :-) Aperture: It is a telescope not a photo lens, so it is always wide open. In this case, she used a 600 mm Telescope with a 80 mm Aperture which means it has f 7.5. :-)
