New Mexico vacation

It was a fantastic week spent in the southernmost part of the Rockies. My son got to fish for the first time and we did a lot of lounging. I am a fan of the Land of Enchantment. I thought these pics looked fairly good considering it was an iPhone 5S.

^^Nice. Crazy how low the lake is. Kind of looks like that spot in Tahoe city behind Rite-Aid/Safeway?

I suspect you have a background with this photography thing.
Those are all interesting pics.
 
Noice!


And another wee starpic for y'all. The Great Nebula of Orion, or M42. This is the cluster that is visible as part of the constellation, the sword.

starting to slowly get the hang of this stuff..

i think :mad
 
Looks excellent! I like that you're not afraid to set your blacks, too many astro photogs focus on dynamic range and the blacks and up with that grey'ish look, but it looks unnatural. Are you shooting infrared?

Couple of things I think - my earlier shots were a little on the short side exposure wise, mostly because of learning in driving the autoguider. Now I am using 4-5 minutes per frame, and then 10 each of the four L R G B channels for a total exposure time of about 200 minutes. IR is the enemy, nasty non polarized shit gets everywhere ;) the filter colors used including the narrowband are all in the visible light spectrum.
I'm also learning to do a better job in background equalization which is helping keep the noise down in the darks and still leave the stars with appropriate color. Still dunno wot to do about color calibration - it just doesn't look teh same as soon as it's been flick'rd.. :(

4-5min at 200min total, so you stack 40-50 shots. That's a solid time investment for a single image, not even counting post, but pretty dang rewarding with results like that. I assume you're exporting in a color space which flick'r and most browsers can manage? Really though, nothing is going to do it justice but the source. How many pixels is your sensor? The old Canon 1D (4.2mp) has made plenty of fine poster size prints, I'd think you could crop that image a bit and have something that would look great on the wall.
 
Amazing shot, keep em coming! I'm always mystified by pictures of outer space.
