Deep Sky Astrophotography Target Guide for the Northern Hemisphere MAY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- This is the May edition of my Deep Sky Astrophotography Target Guide for the Northern Hemisphere. It is designed to help you choose what targets to image in May. I plan to release a video like this every month until all 12 months are complete. There is a separate User Guide video aimed at helping you get the most from the monthly guides (link at the end of the video)

These videos are great Martin, especially for someone (like me) just getting into astrophotography where the potential choice of targets is quite overwhelming. Looking forward to more.
Many thanks! I’m delighted that they are helpful to you. I hope/intend to release each month’s video on the first day of that month. Clear Skies.
Always look forward to this 👍👍
Awesome video and great work! Please keep uploading new episodes for following months!
Thank you so much for the great feedback. Much appreciated! The next video is in preparation. I plan to keep going until I have done all 12 months.
Yet another awesome video!!!
Thanks!!
there will be a total lunar eclipse on may 15-16. maybe you can take some nice pics of it.
Martin - THANK YOU so much for such a fabulous, complete list of targets! Couple of questions: When you say "best viewed" vs. having this on your May list - what does that mean? Will the nebulae have even more visibility during the "best viewed" period? What's the app you use to generate the az-el graphs - I REALLY like that view. Again, thank you so much such thorough information and great images.
Great question Suzanne. ‘Best viewed’ months are when the object is highest in the sky, meaning it can be viewed through less atmosphere. If the target is included in the list then it can be viewed above about 5 degrees elevation during the hours of astronomical darkness (from 50 degrees latitude). I am delighted that you like the trajectory graph…. I wrote the software app myself! Have a watch of the user guide video via link at the end of the guide. It includes a short demo of the app. Clear Skies.
So cool Martin. Keep it up. Question...Have you witnessed the Starlink satellites moving across the sky recently?
Thanks! I have seen them many times, but not for a few weeks as I have been away. They are really a nightmare that’s getting worse as they launch more and more of them. Kappa sigma clipping helps to some extent during stacking.
@@martinsastrophotography Just curious why you say it's a nightmare? Is it messing with our view of celestial objects???
@@kombuchakorral1575 Yes! For Astrophotography especially…They put multiple white lines across the images that are hard to remove.
Are these your pictures? Amazing!
Each picture has a credit below it. Some are mine, but many are not. Thanks.
