Live Stacking with Starlight Live
) | [2016-9-27 23:05:11] M57 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. M57 is a bit too small for Hyperstar filed of view - much less details than with 10" Newtonian. 10" Newtonian will remain platform of choice for medium and small objects. |
) | [2016-9-27 23:24:00] M27 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. Here the nebula is better defined than with 10". |
) | [2016-9-27 23:50:07] Eastern Veil Nebula #1 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-27 23:54:32] Eastern Veil Nebula #2 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-27 23:57:32] Eastern Veil Nebula #3 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:03:02] Western Veil Nebula #1 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:05:45] Western Veil Nebula #2 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:12:59] Fireworks Galaxy with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:17:55] Deer Lick group with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:30:21] Steven's Quintet with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. |
) | [2016-9-28 00:54:19] Helix Nebula with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. Here is an example of removing noise with multiple batches of 9x6sec averaged. The final image had 4 batches averaged (36x6sec total), the initial 9x6sec sum image is shown with the mouse over the image (after full image is opened). |
) | [2016-9-28 01:02:38] NGC891 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. I like this very much. 9x6sec and all the interesting details are there. It is an mazing near-real-time observing tool! |
) | [2016-9-28 01:13:27] M76 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. Side lobes of M76 showing well. |
) | [2016-9-28 01:22:27] M33 with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. Triangulum Galaxy came out amazing, much better than expected. Lots of details, especially the star forming regions. Again, probably much more details would show in color. |
) | [2016-9-28 01:31:11] Pacman Nebula with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. This one is faint, and it would look much better in color. |
) | [2016-9-28 01:45:08] Flame Nebula with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. Really good, all the details present. |
) | [2016-9-28 01:57:04] Horsehead Nebula with Lodestar on C14 Hyperstar with Starlight Live. This is the nebula I always try visually with my 18" Obsession every winter, and every winter I fail to see it. It is easy with Lodestar and Starlight Live, at least with C14 Hyperstar. Would be much better in color. Again, the original 6x9sec image is shown with mouse over. The noise reduction is even more important here than with Helix Nebula, showing the Horse more clearly. Out of all objects viewed this night, only Helix and Horsehead benefitted from sum-average noise reduction. |
