Anthony's Astrophotography

This months BAS Club event was a particularly good event with a great turn out of both BAS and SEQAS members it was almost difficult to find a patch of dirt to set up on :). This time around and given it was such a good evening I had several targets in mind and some I was told about while I was there.

This image was taken on Saturday 20th May 2012, at around 11:00 PM in Hazeldean QLD, Australia. The seeing conditions were about an 8.5/10 as there was a lot still some moisture in the air and the light pollution from Brisbane was still very visible. There was a forecast for rain so we were still quite lucky.

I used my Canon EOS 600D DSLR to take the image and the exposure times were as follows: Read the rest of this entry »

M20 (Trifid) and M8 (Lagoon) Nebula 11th Sept 2011

This image was taken on the 11th September 2011 from my front Drive in Brisbane so was affected by light polution. I cannot remeber all the details of the images taken on this day or how I processed it, but I definitly over cooked it when stretching the histogram and colours (in fairness to me I was just learning how to do this).

One day I will go back and reshoot this target again with alot more time and a much darker sky.
