 This is from a page ago, but I have a question

Nondo posted:

Sorry I missed this.

Captain Chestbeard covered it pretty well but yes I used bulb mode along with a cable release to lock the shutter open. In my case I avoided most of the light pollution by driving away from the city, I was in the mountains about an hour east of the city. Single exposure taken at f/4 for 1833 seconds.

If I'm shooting digital (maybe you were too?), should I be concerned with leaving my sensor going for 1833 seconds? Is that why some people stack exposures?

Put this in the amateur astronomy thread, figured I put it over here as well as people may be interested.

The North American Nebula,an emission nebula in cygnus and my focus for the last couple of nights, I'm pretty happy with the results.



Imaging Kit :
William Optics ZS66SD Refractor / Canon EOS1000D (unmodified) / Astronomik CLS CCD Filter
285 minutes total exposure time (57x5 minutes)

Are those actually the visible light colors of the nebula and galaxies you've been posting? I know NASA likes to play around with its Hubble pictures and make them nice and colorful, but a 1000D is no Hubble

 Its not a night time long exposure, but can it pretend so it'll fit in?



I really dont know how to make it very interesting. Its IR, and the scene was mostly shades of blue, so I tried a black and white conversion.
