The group of astronomers at Atacama Photographic Observatory APO, formed by Thierry Demange, Richard Galli and Thomas Petit, has produced this image that mainly contains the dark clouds LDN 1453, LDN 1454, LDN 1457 and LDN 1458. The mystical cosmic landscape is located in direction to the dusty regions of molecular clouds located in the Aries Constellation. The..... #astronomy#space#astrophysics#astrophotography
It's #MilkyWay season again here in the northern hemisphere.
I took this image using my phone last night around 2am looking south from my moderately light-polluted site in east Tucson. 5×90s subs captured in Astroshader were combined in Siril. A final stretch was applied in GIMP.
Further experiments last night. Here, I doubled the total exposure time (so, a total of 900 s). Same processing steps.
Having started in astrophotography about a million years ago using film, it blows my mind that my phone can collect the data used to make an image like this now.
