Just processed this image of Comet 2022-E3 I took on Jan 31st, unfortunately by the time I got a clear night the very bright moon and light pollution made it really hard to pull much tail out of it. Probably be faded by the time to moon is out of the way, so probably the best I will get on this one.
60 x 60 sec subs
Samyang 135mm lens @f2.8
ZWO 533MC + Baader UV/IR filter

Amazing! did you track the stars or Comet? What sub length? Nice work

I ventured to Wiruna and managed to wait out the Hail, Rain, Lightning. The heavens cleared at about 11pm and managed to get 45 x 60sec, 20 x 30 sec, and 2 x 120 sec with Modded 500D ISO 1600 and 135mm Rokinon. Dithered and Darks applied. Star Adventuer Pro
I intend to apply more data from Coonabarabran next month, and some Ha next month and maybe widen the view with some mosaic action.Higher Res Astrobin http://astrob.in/eo7c36/0/

Stunning image, out of interest, how much of the milky way and what volume of the stars are visible to the naked eye?
I'm curious as that is a beautiful image but I genuinely don't know how much is photography and how much is what we can see. I hope that doesn't sound ignorant of me, I honestly don't know.
Also what bortle level would that sky be.
Thank you
Baz
Hi Baz
good questions. I used a 10mm wide angle lens. But, it captures the majority of the visible milky way except some minor ends. So what you see in this image is close to what you see with hte naked ey. If you did two shot mosaic you will easily fit it all in to represent the naked eye view. The Bortle scale is 1. Very Dark Sky Park and protected by legislation. As far as "what you can visibly see". You wont see colour with your eye (but you can make out the blue a bit because of the Zodiacal light). You can clearly see the dark "Dust" lanes. Hope you get a chance to visit the southern sky at Bortle 1 this type of year (as this type of your you see the Galactic Core - but at other times of year you will not see the core.

ASKAR V User Experience and examples
in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
Posted
Hi all - looking to upgrade to the Askar V but I cant find any really good examples of peoples experience. Yes I watched the youtubes but looking for real life pic examples. Anyone like it or have issues? Particular with star and image quality when compared to equivalent dedicated scope?
