Moving to hive
Fuck you Justin, we're moving to Hive.
now that is a long exposure of the past
wow that is really cool - I don't know much about astronomical photography, but it makes sense that you'd need to do lots of long exposures. What's the longest exposure you've had to do to capture something up there?
Well, for my msc thesis we observed neighbouring galaxy IC1613 with 5 images per 20 minutes exposure time. combining them in particular software gave us 100minutes exposition. :) Thats the biggest one I have worked with, hopefully in the future I will go for more :)
100 minutes!! That is crazy long! Even as a combined 5x 20 minute exposure is epic, hahaha
Do you have to have a really fancy camera that's specifically designed to do this type of photography? Sorry for all the questions, I just find this really interesting :)
It is crazy! :D Luckily for us we get to sit in the comfy and warm room (thank you technology) instead of spending times in a freezing cold nights. :)
I like answering thoughtful questions. :) well, usually all telescopes have mounted camera (some have two-three-four) depending what their goal is.
This 60cm telescope used this Apogee U42 and the blue thing is Peltier Cooling system it cools the CCD camera 25-40 degrees below zero.
Just to have better image and reduce the noise. :)
If this was helpful keep coming with questions or suggestions :)
only $45k MSRP! lol! well that is amazing - I know a lot about film cameras and photography cameras, but I've never investigated "Quantum Efficiency" cameras. but that makes total sense that it heats up enough to justify a cooling system of its own - that's a lot of power in there. Really cool, I'm looking forward to more of your posts!
100 freekin minutes?! whoaaa!!
Damn Svemirac! This is high on my wish-to-do-list-kind of photography! How the hell did you not get any star trails with such a long exposure time?
This is professional telescope, but even for amateur telescopes you can get auto-tracker which follows your desired object, and mounting camera focus will give you picture without trails, it is yet the simplest thing about the telescope equipment :)
ah yeah! Auto-tracker! And that tracker is attached to that telescope? shittt
crazy shit!!! orders auto tracker
Love astronomy, I was hoping in my lifetime they'd have visits to the moon at least, but it seems the human race is too preoccupied with finding new ways to kill each other :/
Just like Tom Waits said: "It's a sad and beautiful wor(l)d..."
While stepping on the Moon is quite tempting, I would be satisfied with 7 days on ISS. :) just to feel zero gravity, and see the Earth. :)
This was such an incredible photo! I'm always amazed at what is up there ;) I can't wait to see what more you have for us!!!! I've already heard from a lot of people that this was a a great post!!! (i guess it was a better choice than the beer making?!?!? LOLOLOL)
Well it was good both ways, and had very funny comments! Thanks for choosing me as a pirate haven in this round! see you around :)
Somebody did a big fart in space!
Really though, that is so cool. '12866593442709888 kilometers! ' God damn... That was a good line. 1360 light years didn't pack the punch :P
hahahahahahahahaha YES @svemirac - i see what you mean about the funny comments LOLOLOL
Wow! What a breathtaking picture!! I've always been amazed at our expansive universe and all of the beauty it beholds! Thank you for sharing!!
Phenomenal! It actually does look like an apple core. I had no idea you do this @svemirac; looks like I need to get to know you better in Buddy_Up ;) Came here for the Treasure Hunt, but I hope to follow this series of beautiful objects in the skies. Well done!
Yeah :) I will take some time off from discord and chats, and most likely steemit itself. but I guess I will be able to post few things per week. :)thanks.
Oh, you're taking time away? Everything ok?
yep. a little travel trip, or how we call it nowadays - steemit material :D
Haters will say this is photoshopped lol couldn't resist. But this looks really beautiful but this screen can't ever compare to the witness though.
hahahaha good one! It was MaximDLed! no photoshop :P :D
Another Astrophysicist :D I love it. I can never get bored of cosmic images.
Nebulae can be so mesmerising.
Cool dude!
Prepare yourself for the things to come Tesla! :)
Cheers!
I'm strapped in prepared ready to take off in the STEM rocket ahah. Let's do this!!!
