Specifically, a Thankfully, I received some useful information about stacking images with this camera’s color profile and Bayer pattern in DeepSkyStacker. Markarian’s Chain is an impressive photography subject for those with a camera and telescope to capture it. No Flat, Bias or Dark frames taken for this image. These, in turn, have objects plotted on them that link to object pages.A local sidereal time calculator will tell you when objects are on the meridian where they are highest in the sky and best placed for photography.This HTML book is a guide to basic digital correction and advanced enhancement techniques for astrophotos in Adobe Photoshop image-processing software.Whether you are a beginning amateur astrophotographer, or a seasoned veteran, you will learn new and exciting techniques.These books will help you to avoid those bad practices that lead to poor images. Markarian's chain, containing elliptical galaxies M86 and M84 at upper right, dominates this photo of the heart of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. This list can be sorted by object name, object type, catalog number, constellation, right ascension and focal length.Images of more than 275 select objects visible from the northern hemisphere are displayed on individual pages with photographic information and details about these objects.All-sky constellation charts are clickable with links to individual constellation images. I was shooting color data, but clouds rolled through the field before I got any blue data. At 952mm focal length, it's not the right telescope for this subject, Markarian's Chain. The forecast looks pretty wet for this week over here as well:( Glad you are getting the ASI071 sorted out. This string of 7 distinct galaxies is a member of the Virgo Cluster and epitomizes the types of astrophotography subjects available during galaxy season.. On Friday night (Good Friday), I was spoiled with a second consecutive clear night sky. Markarian’s Chain is not observable visually but will become evident in short exposures at the right focal length. The galaxies may appear small, but each of them contains more than 400 billion stars or more.Go ahead and explore this amazing area in detail. Scope: Skywatcher Evostar 80ED (SW 0.85 FR/FF) on a SW NEQ6Pro Guiding; SW Evoguide 50ED, ASI 120mm mini which one are you talking abt the only object I can see is moon by using my 60d with EF 300mm lens( about 480mm since 60d is APC-s) Fullhalter on 20/04/2019 - 18:33 +1 vote
Exposure Data . For me, I never want to lose the feeling I get when I look up on a clear April night.In case you are wondering, I’ve still got my hands on the ASI071MC-Cool from Looks great Trevor, I will see if I can pull the same thing off once the rain clears in a WEEK. My 071 is in the shop so I’m going to try the 60D or T3i. Couple this with my lack of any filters for the ASI071, and you’ve got a difficult imaging session ahead.Luckily, the Virgo Cluster of galaxies including Markarian’s chain showcases many interesting, yet mostly featureless objects. If you are looking for a deep-sky view at the Universe, you’ve found it.Markarian’s Chain – Wide Field ViIew through the ES ED102The Virgo Cluster is the closest cluster of galaxies to our own Milky Way. I stacked 203 30-second exposures (1.7 hours) and this result sure beats the heck out of my first attempt on this target 3 years ago when I was new to this hobby. There are a few subjects in the night sky that my regular Explore Scientific ED127mm telescope just cannot capture because the focal length is a bit too long. Using the 2-second refresh rate on SharpCap, I am able to spot the 3 brightest galaxies in Markarian’s Chain.I am quite proud of my framing on this one. The milder nights have been hovering around 1 or 2 degrees, which is just enough to keep my hands from freezing.I’ve mentioned this before, but I can’t stress enough the importance I give to the overall experience.

M87, another giant elliptical galaxy, is at lower left.If you like the information you have read here, I have several books that you may find of interest.If you think there is a lot of information here on these web pages, just wait until you see how much more there is in these books!This book on CD-ROM for beginning astrophotographers explains how to take beautiful images with your digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera using simple step-by-step techniques that anyone can learn.You will see how easy it is to take great pictures with very modest equipment and basic methods that are within everyone's ability.With this book you will learn how to take amazing images of the night sky with your DSLR camera.This book written in HTML5 is a digital download.
