The Night Sky August 2024
Welcome to The Night Sky series, a curated list of Deep Sky Objects, planets and notable events that are happening in the Northern Hemisphere night sky this month.
This list is broken down by various popular focal lengths complete with equivalent sensor sizes. No matter your gear, I guarantee you'll find something suitable to photo!
These are all based against a full frame Canon 5D mk3 camera when it comes to the equivalent sizings.
Planets are judged whether they rise above 30 degrees altitude for long enough to be worthwhile, this ensures they get out of the most mucky part of the atmosphere for better seeing conditions.

    Nice summary good to see you back. August will try doing a merger of wide angle shots for the Perseid shower. Maybe saturn + moon usually looks cool (SKYMAX PRO 180). I see you quoted the 5D as a camera for some of the FF photos I still have one not doing anything for years as an ornament. Is it the classic 5D? These days I use the Canon R7 (apsc) but looking to get the Nikon Z8 (FF).

    As a noob I am very thankful for this walk through, but I am also very frustrated with the lack of explanations. As an example, at around 12:50-13:10 a layer suddenly appears after hearing you tap the keys on your keyboard. It has taken me 2 hours to get 13 minutes into the video going back and forth trying to understand what you are doing since there are no captions of explanations for a lot of the things you do, but this move is like the trick of an illusionist. Maybe I get it if I once again back up to the last time you made a selection via colour. What do you do beyween 12:50 and 13:10 to create the new layer? Thanks in advance. Ps. I am very thankful for helping me understanding, despite it being a bitr of hard work ;)

I've had a quick look and really the only recommendations I can give you without seeing your PC is to either uninstall & reinstall Affinity, or to hold control and double click the Affinity icon which should (apparently) reset Affinity back to default. If that doesn't work feel free to email me a screenshot of your Affinity Photo so I can try and help you further at astrofarsography@gmail.com Good luck!

    Take the dew shield off and unscrew the complete lens cell. This allows you to clean the inside lens of the doublet. I have just cleaned my Skywatcher 120ED this way. There's no need to worry about the lenses as they are in a sealed unit and unscrew as this complete unit. A lot better than sticking your arm down inside the dew shield.

    Trying to use this video to learn Affinity Phots 2.5.2. I'm trying to edit a galaxy and when I get to the part to Select Sampled Color I'm not seeing marching ants anywhere around the galaxy, just a dotted line around the image not matter what I select in the image. Guess I'm going to have to use Starnet++. But I learned a lot about using Levels to adjust color and the Threshold tool. It's too bad this channel seems to be abandoned.

    • @AstroFarsography
      @AstroFarsography Місяць тому

      It will depend on the colour difference in the galaxy itself to the background tool. The select sampled colour will be dependant on that. If the whole image has an overall green or blue colour cast, these tools can struggle It's not abandoned, I won't abandon it. I just have had some issues in life that I've had to deal with.
