My very first real DSLR astro-photo.

I did not get flats done this go around and it shows!

60 x 1min unguided subs at ISO 1600. Preprocessed/Aligned and Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. Post processed in PS CS3.

AP Traveler at approx f4.35 using the AP Photographic-Visual Telecompressor (0.75x) (27TVPH)

Lots of potential in this camera! I love it!

HOLY CARP!!!
Beautiful.


What are we looking at?
Stars?
Galaxies?
Dust clouds?

Is the blue color real?
Why are so many, and their dust clouds the same shade of blue?
What is the source of light for those dust clouds, or whatever they are?

The blue is real. I see it in the telescope. Not this saturated but it's blue.

It's a massive cloud of dust illuminated by the blue stars commonly referred to as "Nebulosity". You can see other colored stars in the photo which tells me my color balance is pretty good. The different colors are more obvious in the full size version.

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.
- Mark Twain


We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
-T. S. Eliot
