Not relay understand where are you going with this  and yes it is a bit offence, since you don't know me personalty and my skills. 

I do take my laptop to my travels to Namibia and some other stuff, I didn't say I don't bring my laptop with me, I said that I don't need laptop for operating the observatory and take the photos, just storage to download the images, I thought you are asking how it is done.

I will let you know when I will upload something from my home observatory which I fully build on my own, if you want to see my skills in light pollution.

Thank you all.

John - I don't need my laptop, briefly, the observatory has its own PC, I just plan my nights in advance and then operate the Autoslew (mount), maximDL (camrea and focuse), sequence (ASA guiding system) , The SkyX, and take subs, flats, dark, bias...at the end I download everything to my storage and than I have a full year to process after this "fishing" hunt

  I rent it locally. taking only my laptop.

LDN1676 (SH2-9) is a butiful  emission and reflection nebula. It is in the Scorpius constellation and near the bright star Antares that can be seen in naked eye as an orange color star. below this nebula we can find the M4 globular cluster. This all area is above the milkyway center core from our point of view.

I photo it during my visit to the Namibia  in June 2019 during

Thank you all. The combination of one of the most dark places on the planet and a fast well made astrograph make the live of astrophotogarphy a bit easier

Thank you

Took this Milkyway 30 sec exposure photo 2 weeks ago in Namibia as part of my 300 photos for startrail..this is one 30 sec frame.

The photo was taken with a Canon 7D camera with a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens.

Thanks,

Hi Frederic,

In the process I did all channels details separately at first Ha, OIII, Lum, RGB (RGB I did as one from MaximDL).

In  photoshop I used LRGB for the Stars and I had to the Red the Ha also.

Then I took the Ha photo and deleted the Blue and Green color channel from it and add the OIII has the Blue channel. Then I use an action that is part of the Astronomy Tools called "Synthesize Green Channel from Red and Blue" to create the Green color...the beautiful colors you just pop up. It is the first time I use this technic and I was very happy with the results.

I hope it answer your qestions

cheers,

Haim

Very nice! well done.

Sorry for posting...I don't know how to remove the post....it only give the ability to edit, so I removed the photo and the details.

Took this Milkyway 30 sec exposure photo last week in Namibia as part of my 300 photos for startrail..this is one 30 sec frame.

Thanks,

Haim

Took this photo of the milkyway last week at the Namibian Kalahari desert.
