Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years away from the Earth.
Creating Star Trails is one of the most spectacular astrophotography techniques. In this comprehensive step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to stack a series of individual frames into one stunning image using the free StarStax software. This guide includes the essential step of RAW file conversion to a lossless 16-bit PNG format using RawTherapee, and it’s friendly for Linux users (as it uses free, multi-platform tools).
In overall, this was my third or fourth attempt to capture Star Trails. In the end, I was able to make a slightly longer photo shoot, which shows long, bright and clear trails. In the lower left corner of the screen, long white streaks of light are the lights of Italian tourists – amateurs of the night sky like we do. I remember how loud and chatty they were. The word “Polonia” was fell several times as they looked in our direction. I guess how they knew when my company, a modest number of three people, emptied the turbo-cola with raising toast.
Object is located in the Monoceros constellation and are located about 800 parsecs or 2,600 light-years from Earth. NGC 2264 is the location where the Cone Nebula, the Stellar Snowflake Cluster and the Christmas Tree Cluster have formed in this emission nebula.
Two different locations, more than 200 km apart. Two different telescopes, different size, focal length,
light. Two different tools for collecting photons with completely different parameters.
Until now, my computer didn’t really have much to count, but everything changed when I get idea to try, to stack two totally
different data sets together. I like such challenges.
