Description

Photographing the Cassiopeia set did not yield easily. There was often a humid, hazy weather, visible in the picture around the brighter stars, but at least the sky was clear.

Again, I chose such a theme because I really liked the dust mist that hides over the set and so the two targets look good together.

The other difficulty was given by the handling of the star field already during processing. There are a lot of stars in this region, and for that reason, the downsizing of the stars had to be solved differently. By reducing the number of stars several times, taking care of the set, we may have succeeded in making the field of view acceptable.

The stars are dimmed at the bottom and top right due to the cut. I cut off at least a third of the picture because it somehow released it that way. Fortunately, it was possible to crop from the image due to the resolution.

When the picture was taken, the roof became remotely controllable, but what solves a problem raises a different question, but the technical part of astrophotography is also beautiful. Last year, at that time, I still thought the question was what this little computer system was, and now ... It's an interesting situation.
