Let's Photograph Stephan's Quintet! | Astrophotography
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I took a picture of Stephan's Quintet & NGC 7331 through my telescope using my ZWO ASI294 MC Pro camera. I used Astrophotography tool (APT) and PHD2 Guiding for the acquisition software (making use of multi-star guiding), with my Skywatcher 200PDS, EQ6R-Pro Mount, and Optolong L-Pro filter to create a broadband image of the galaxies, post-processed in photoshop. This was captured by stacking multiple long exposures in order to bring out more detail.
Stephan's Quintet is a challenging target due to how far way it is, in order to capture an up-close image you probably need a telescope with a 3000mm focal length, however, even at 1000mm I could capture the 5 galaxies and also include a nearby and closer galaxy, NGC 7331. This photo really encapsulates the beauty and wonder of the cosmos, it's impossible to fully comprehend just how far away these stars and celestial targets really are...
My computer crashed halfway through creating this video and it took me about 2/3 weeks to get it working again, hence the delay, so sorry about that! but I'm looking to increase the amount of videos I do now and produce different types of content, more to come soon ;)
Let me know if you liked this style of video in the comment section below and please like and subscribe for more astrophotography from me in the future!
I normally post every 3 weeks (but am looking to improve on this), which I feel gives me enough time to focus on the quality to improve the viewer experience, I'm still learning a lot on this side of things so hopefully you'll see me slowly improving!

Great image. Haven't seen anyone imaging this target before (but then I am in the Southern hemisphere ) so it's nice to see this unique target.
Thanks!! Yeah and the story of what's going on is fascinating too 😄
Excellent. I am also an astronomy enthusiast. Only I do not do astrophotography, but visual observations. Your video really interested me and I will definitely see these wonderful galaxies with my own eyes now. Thank you. From Russia with respect.
Great video and a wonderful capture mate, well done!! :-)
Thanks!! Very different to usual images so found this one particularly cool
listen to “Love from NGC 7318” by Tanerélle
Just listened to it, love it!
That music and the image looks awsome. Good job bro
Thank you!! 👊
so underrated... man
loved the unique target and the background info on the target like their gravitational interaction!!
Thanks! Yeah the story behind each photo is so important to me! Crazy what's going on out there 🤯
Awesome Image!! Very Cinematic video, Those Galaxies look like a Wonderful target! Nice Fossil of Trilobite! Very cool!
Thanks!! Yeah they are a great target, would definitely recommend going going for it if you have a powerful telescope!
Superb
Thanks!
Awesome
Thanks!
Not tried this target before and will definitely take a look. Nice job
Thanks! Yeah it's a very cool target and love the story behind what's going on there, definitely worth going for
Great capture on this one Rajan! I'm going to have to try it out soon myself!
Thanks Joe!! You absolutely should, it just feels so different to the usual targets too!
This is an awesome video. Your processing is on point. These are the videos that I like to watch. Keep Going!!!!
Thank you!! Means a lot to hear that😁👊
@@spacefrenz hey I was wondering if I could put you on my rising channels suggestion on my page. I just started my RUclips journey and love to watch other new channels.
Absolutely! thank you!😁 will check out your channel🔭👍
Nice job on a very cool target!
Thank you!! Yeah it's crazy when you think about what's actually going on in the photo
Nice job! I’ve not seen this before, interesting target👍
Thanks!! Yeah it's such a great target, would definitely recommend if you've got a fairly powerful telescope
@@spacefrenz yeah only got an Esprit 120 at 840mm, little bit short!!
@@SimonsAstro yeah you'd still get a nice photo with NGC 7331 in there but the Quintet might be quite small to distinguish them, worth having a look on stellarium to see what to expect
