My father lives right around the corner from me and has been doing astrophotography for just over a year. He wouldn't care for Lemmy. Would the community care if I shared some of his pictures and progress even though they aren't mine?
I would love to see them for sure!
Maybe include some extra-information (equipment, editing, what object is portrayed, etc.) as well, would be super interesting!
we only allow OC photos here.
Here's my first two years in the hobby.
I had started off with getting a $20 Craigslist telescope for just pics of the moon/planets, but after that I decided to dive into DSOs. I used my mom's DSLR and bought a 6" f/4 newtonian and used Orion Sirius mount. Been using that same scope/mount combo all these years while upgrading everything else around them, like getting an autoguider, mono cam, moonlite focuser, pixinsight, etc.
Welcome to !astrophotography!
We are Lemmy's dedicated astrophotography community!
If you want to see or post pictures of space taken by amateurs using amateur level equipment, this is the place for you!
Please read the rules before you post! It is your responsibility to be aware of current rules. Failure to be aware of current rules may result in your post being removed without warning at moderator discretion.
Astrophotography refers to images of astronomical objects or phenomena exclusively.
~~Images that show objects or people below the Kármán Line (100km) will be removed.~~ We won't be enforcing this rule for now, but as the community grows eventually we will split and have a separate space for just landscape astro.
Images must be an accurate representation of a real astronomical object.
Image posts can only be images that you have captured and processed yourself, or discussion about capturing and/or processing your own images.
Images acquired from public sources, professional observatories, or other professional services are not allowed.
If you have done a drastic alteration or reprocessing of a prior submission, you may repost your edit - but only after a minimum of one week has passed.
Image posts are to link directly to the image, not to landing pages, personal galleries, blogs, or professional sites. Link to these in the comments. (AstroBin and Imgur, are allowed)
Questions are welcome here for the time being.
Links to blogs, articles or external websites should be interesting and promote discussion about amateur astrophotography.
If your post is removed, try reposting with a different title. Don't hesitate to message the mods if you still have questions!
All submitted images must include acquisition and processing details as a top-level comment. All posts without this information may be given a warning, and if not updated will be removed.
This includes the telescope, mount, camera, accessories, and any other pieces of equipment you used to capture the image.
You must also include processing details, i.e. the programs you used and a general rundown of the workflow/processes you used within those programs. “Processed in Photoshop” is not enough.
