Capturing Star Trails in a photo is not to difficult task. There are several schools to do this. The Internet has many descriptions and videos on how to do this. I think I’ll never become a YouTuber, personally I prefer to create a document or simple instruction that describe the whole ho-to process in clear technical language and this was what it guide me during preparation this description.
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.
M42 – Great Nebula in Orion – Also known as NGC 1976. This is the brightest nebula on the sky. It is located in the Orion constellation, south direction from Orion belt. The diameter of the nebula is 30 light years. The distance from Earth is 1344 thousand light years.
This is the last photo material of the Northern Lights that I wanted to publish, from my last year’s visit to Iceland in the company of a great group of people and PTMA.
The publication chapter for Iceland has been closed. I think, now I have a reason to go back there to collect new lights.

Astrophotography by Dariusz Krzempek
At some point while using the controller, I noticed that the ESC button wasn’t always working. I lived with it, but after a while, the left Ra button also started acting up and wouldn’t always connect. A red flag went up in my head – something needed to be done. It’s worth noting that the problems appeared right after the warranty period ended… coincidence?
The GOTO controller is extremely convenient and practical to use, when you want to look at interesting night sky objects, with your own eye through the eyepiece mounted in the telescope’s focuser. The ability to quickly select an object using the GOTO controller, is invaluable.
