Just wondering who are the most popular influencers on youtube for astrophotography and why you watch their videos. Another related question is who are the best and why? I'll give my selection a bit later in this thread. -
From the album: Deep Sky Imaging
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a companion satellite galaxy of our Milkyway 163,000LY away and only visible from the southern hemisphere. Imaged at 150mm focal length through an Sigma 150mm f2.8 prime lens and exposed in HaLRGB using two cameras, a QHY268M astronomy camera for the luminance and H-Alpha signal and a stock unmodded Canon 40D DSLR for the RGB color data. The reason for using the DSLR was to save time, capturing all of the RGB signal simultaneously as opposed to capturing the red, green and blue subs separately. The noise level and overall image quality of the RGB data was not much of a concern as long as there was color data with in the signal, as I only used it to colorise the luminance channel. Guided with an 80mm refractor at 500mm FL and tracked on a hypertuned CGEM mount. Total exposure time was 7 hours and 23 minutes.© Mariusz Goralski

I didn't get a chance to spend too much time hunting the best seeing conditions for planetary imaging this year, but this is the best image of Saturn that I captured this season... Captured through a 8" SCT @ f30 (Televue 3X Barlow) using a Skyris 618C CCD.© Mariusz Goralski

A Barred Spiral Galaxy located 37.5 million LY away in the constellation ”Grus” - NGC7424 imaged on multiple nights between 4th and 11th September 2021 in LRGB natural color. Not my best work as it was imaged during hazy & light polluted skies due to back burning procedures in the area and so I had to stretch the data quite aggressively. This is an object I will need to return to image in the future. Imaged through a 8" SCT at f6.3 and exposed for a total time of 13 hours, 27 minutes and 30 seconds, consisting of 41x300s & 18x600s of UV/IR Cut "Luma" subs @ gain 31 (6h25m)... Color data aquisition was 5x150s & 25x300s of Red, 28x300s of Green and 29x300s Blue color subs @ HCG:62 gain... all subs at Offset 25 (7h02m30s).© Mariusz Goralski

NGC 6334, an emission nebula and star-forming region located in the constellation Scorpius, also known as the Cat's Paw Nebula, Bear Claw Nebula or Gum 64. The nebula lies at an estimated distance of about 4,350 light-years from Earth. This image was taken from my backyard in Bortle 4-5 skies through a 80mm refractor at F6.25 (500mm focal length) with a QHY268M camera through 7nm H-Alpha, SII and OIII narrowband filters. Total exposure time was 18 hours and 15 minutes. Subs captured were HII: 15x600s OIII: 21x1200s and SII: 15x1800s @ HGC:62 on multiple nights between 31st May & 11 June 2021.© Mariusz Goralski

This is my first image created using my new camera. This is NGC3603 and NGC3576 (AKA The "Statue of Liberty" nebula), a massive H-Alpha region containing a very compact open cluster, located in the constellation "Carina" about 20,000LY away. I took this photo on multiple nights, between 7th - 17th May 2021. Imaged using a QHY268M attached to a 80mm f6.25 refractor on a equatorial mount. Total exposure time was 25 Hours and 35 minutes using 7nm HII, OIII and SII Narrowband filters... imaged from a bortle 4-5 semi rural sky. HII: 3x600s, 12x900s & 8x1200s subs OIII: 18x900s & 11x1800s subs SII: 21x900s, 2x1200s & 7x1800s @ HCG:62© Mariusz Goralski

From the album: Deep Sky Imaging
The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) also known as the Grand Nebula, Great Nebula in Carina, or Eta Carinae Nebula, is a large complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina. The nebula lies at an estimated distance between 6,500 and 10,000 light-years from Earth. This image was taken from my backyard in Bortle 4-5 skies through a 80mm refractor at F6.25 (500mm focal length) with a QHY268M camera through 7nm H-Alpha, SII and OIII filters. Total exposure time was 5 hour and 50 minutes. Subs captured were HII: 12x600s OIII: 2x600s & 4x900s SII: 10x900s @ HCG:62 on 18th May 2021.© Mariusz Goralski

Statue of Liberty Nebula (NGC3603) - 19Feb-15Mar2021
MarsG76 posted a gallery image in Member's Album
From the album: Deep Sky Imaging
This is NGC3603 and NGC3576 (AKA The "Statue of Liberty" nebula), a massive H-Alpha region containing a very compact open cluster, located in the constellation "Carina" about 20,000LY away. I took this photo on multiple nights, between 19th February and 15th March 2021. Imaged using my cooled and full spectrum modded Canon 40D DSLR attached to a Bosma 80mm f6.25 refractor on a CGEM equatorial mount. Total exposure time was 22 Hours and 1 minute using 7nm HII, OIII and SII Narrowband filters and stars are from natural color (UV/IR Cut filter) subs... imaged from a semi rural sky. HII: 6x600s, 6x900s and 4x1200s subs, OIII: 10x900s, 8x1200s and 1x1800s subs SII: 18x1800s subs RGB: 19x60s, 19x120s, 18x180s and 20x300s subs @ ISO1600.© Mariusz Goralski

NGC 6357 is about 5500 light years away in the constellation Scorpius near the better known NGC 6334, AKA the "Cat's Paw" or "Bear Paw" nebula. This nebula was also given the name War and Peace Nebula because of its appearance in infrared images, the bright western part resembles a dove and the eastern part looks like a skull. This photo was taken through a Celestron C8 8" SCT at f6.3 (1280mm focal length), tracked on the CGEM and exposed using a full spectrum modded and cooled Canon 40D DSLR. Total exposure time through the SII, HAlpha and OIII filters was 40 hours.© Mariusz Goralski

This is a close up of IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, with the Bok Globules visible in the upper third of the frame. IC2944 is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. This image was exposed using a Cooled and full spectrum astro modded DSLR through a 8" SCT at it's native 2032mm (f10) focal length. The total exposure time was 8 hours and 25 minutes, through a UV/IR filter to capture natural colour data.© Mariusz Goralski
