My picture of a Green Flash published in Heelal

My picture of a Green Flash taken mid July at the Belgian coast in De Panne (see my post) is published in the astronomical magazine "Heelal" edition November 2021. This is a nice recognition.

Reworking Picture of Veil Nebula NGC6960

I reworked my picture of the Veil Nebula NGC6960. This time I used Starnet++ to eliminate all stars and keeping the nebula. After boosting up the contrast of the Nebula, the starless picture was added as a new layer in CS4 together with the original picture.

Set up : Nikon D7500, TLAPO80/480 f/6, ZWO Miniscope f/3.5, ASI224MC and setting ISO400, 360s. Software : Stellarium, EQMOD, ATP Camerasoftware and PHD2 Guidingsoftware. Pictures are edited with CS4 and DeNoise AI.

Black Hole Cygnus X-1

Where is Cygnus X-1? Cygnus X-1 is a black hole in constellation Swan. As it is a black hole it can't be seen. But we know it's near star HDE226868. I tried to find this star a couple of weeks ago but this failed due to setting issues and bad transparency. Yesterday I tried it again using Stellarium and with succes.

Setting: Nikon D7500 with TLAPO80/480 f/6, mini guidescope and guiding camera ZWO224MC, ISO400, 4x360s exposure time. Software used: Stellarium, PHD2 and ATP to control the camera. Pictures stacked using APP and final eding with CS4 and DeNoise AI.
