  • After nearly two months of cloudy nights, I finally got only one clear night for astrophotography. It was like a stroke of luck, especially since Orion was still visible in the night sky. My main objective was to capture LDN1622, also known as "The Boogeyman Nebula".
    To my surprise, it turned out to be incredibly faint. It barely showed up in my photos. However, I didn't let that discourage me. I braved the night, determined to capture this elusive stellar wonder.

    Scary with the coyotes. I was setting up one night, heard a noise behind me and saw two black about 30 yards behind me. They ignored me (thankfully) and I crawled into the back hatch of my truck and pulled the door closed. They went on their way after about 5 minutes,

    Hello from Russia. I am also the owner of the Askar 103 mm telescope. Which reducer did Boogeyman Nebula shoot with? Good luck and clear skies!

      I used the .8 reducer in this video

    Nice work on that target!
    I'm curious, What happened with the C6 hyperstar?
    Is it better to use the Askar 103?

    • @astronotna

      It's still in the line up! Just haven't had a chance to use it with all the product videos I've been working on. Hopefully getting it out for galaxy season. I'm sure there will be some F2 hyperstar action in the summer.

      @astronotna Nice. Thanks for your answer, and looking forward to seeing some galaxy season pics. I ended buying the Hyperstar for my C6, and of course, that also attracted the clouds ...

      Hey congrats on your new hyperstar! So you are to blame for this eh? lol I am guilty as well I have definitely purchased new gear. I am also looking forward to galaxy season hopefully we get a break in the weather soon!
