#microobservatory — Public Fediverse posts

That's a nice image, one of my favorite star targets.

I don't have equipment capable of star photography. So I use images out of the Harvard/Smithsonian MicroObservatory archive. I've put together my own processing software that works with the #MicroObservatory format, and here is my effort of stacking some of their photos of #M13.

I cannot compete with you on small field #AstroPhotography. I have only have #PiggyBack star photography capability.

To get your quality of images, I've used the publicly available #MicroObservatory. The half dozen or so telescopes are 6 inch Mak-Newts. One can schedule targets and get emails of raw images. I process them with a Yorick program.

It's a solution for those lacking equipment but having computer.

Here's my best #M15.
