    2nd & 3rd Imaging Years

    Images added to a gallery album owned by pmesquita in Member's Album

    I'm starting now to publish my 1st photos of my 2nd imaging year, with a new setup and techique. This setup is totally different from my 1st year. On my 1st year I had fun - and fell in love with Deep space imaging - with a very fast system: C11 Edge HD + Hyperstar @F2. Out of about 70 photos on my 1st year - and for a rookie - I got half a dozen good ones, a few more so-so decent..and the rest quite weak. NOW IT'S YEAR TWO...AND I HOPE IT RUNS EVEN BETTER

    I hope youi guys don't get angry but this was really my 1st DSO on Nov. 2012, I swear. It's # 0 photo as I've classifiend My DSP pics with numbers. An M42 with two different processings. Since then I've been diving more and more into DSO imaging and Pixinsight. The reason for a "not very ugly" pic has really to do with my laziness. I just love the KISS principle. Murphy seems to be quite allergic to it :-) You see, I waited and learned, waited and learned, waited and learned...and finally when got to do my 1st image I actrually had learned one very simple but extremely useful Rule: It's not me...it's my gear that takes the photos! what I mean by this is that if you actually hit straight on with the right setup...it's a whole lot easier. Btw, here is my 1st year album (15.11.12 to 15.11.13): http://stargazerslounge.com/gallery/album/2852-paulo-mesquitas-1st-imaging-year-gallery/ I'm currently processing my 2nd year album (after a lousy winter) and I'm also posting here on SGL.
