Je n'avais pas fait d'astrophoto depuis ... longtemps! Je m'y suis remis la nuit dernière, profitant des conditions météo enfin idéales. J'ai pas mal pataugé avant de pouvoir prendre une série d'images de l'amas globulaire Messier 5 dans la tête du Serpent. Les logiciels d'acquisition et de traitement ont beaucoup progressé en 18 mois... Le weekend n'est pas fini, encore des nuits blanches à venir ! #astrodon#astronomy#astronomie#DeepSky#astrophotography#stars#Ekos#Siril#StarClusters
I've had no time to do any astronomy for fun recently. I was working until after 4am this morning so had very little sleep, but I just made myself take 30mins to explore #Jupiter, loads of #StarClusters, #M45 + #M31 with my #SkywatcherHeritage 74mm mini #Dobsonian#telescope. No imaging - just looking. This telescope is so much fun and I love it 🥰
The work on the new particle sets is pretty much complete. We can now arbitrarily texture particles, and even use models instead of billboards. Since clusters are now regular particles, we can even color map them! #GaiaSky#StarClusters
Currently experimenting with a new particle-based star cluster rendering method that is 10x faster than the previous one. Check out the FPS in the comparison video below! The video displays the 7200 clusters in @emilydoesastro catalog. #GaiaSky#StarClusters
