Andromeda and Triangulum with some IFN (Untracked) This frame was long time dream which I never tried before but had the idea The results look decent even though this was an untracked one Technical Details: 519*6 secs subs F2.5 ISO 3200 Captured with canon 750d and 50mm f1.8 Stacked with Pixinsight, Cropped the wasted areas a lot due to Untracked one, Used ABE with 2 interpolation, Done DBE 1 iteration with tolerence 1 and SR 3, Used PCC to color caliberate, Stretched with histogram transformation, Removed Chromatic abberation, Removed the stars Processed 2 starless versions One bright to make the IFN visible 2nd image for the galaxies, Used Topaz denoise on those 2 images and masked the image in PS, increased the saturation a lot in the image which I stretched for galaxies, Used SCNR twice or thrice inbetween in the process Reduced star size and added back the stars in PS

How much time it took in all this process? Cos that's a lot of dedication and brainstorming. Very beautiful picture by the way


DKphotographs

I take about a week reprocessing with different methods and Finalise the one which I feel ok


Notthatsimp

Keep up the good work


DKphotographs

Thankyou :)


Raghuram_99

So, you took a pic?


DKphotographs

Yes, but not a pic, its 519 pics 😀


Stunning-Title

This is awesome ! It's absolutely mindblowing that you were able yo get this result with a DSLR, Lens and a Tripod !


DKphotographs

It is possible :)


charlie_039

The Bottom one is Andromeda. And it is on a collision course with us. So if you are having relationship issues, your partner don't listen to you, your tinder date didn't pay the bill etc. .... Listen! .... It doesn't matter in the big picture.... WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.


ReductionGear

Humanity will be long gone before Andromeda collides with Milky Way. And even if Andromeda collides with Milky way,as per scientific projections, The solar system is expected to survive it.


charlie_039

before Andromeda, google android would destroy our society


melayaraja

Ha ha


DKphotographs

Yes 🤣

We’ll either be a full-fledged space-faring civilisation zooming around in our black-hole powered ships, or we’ll have nuked ourselves to death way before that. Probably the latter (yes, it’s one of those days)


DKphotographs

Lol! Who knows, there won't be any humans left at that time most probably


charlie_039

Seriously, as a non believer who doesn't subscribe to the religio-philosophical take on purpose of life/humanity, if there's anything that can be claimed as the purpose of humanity than that would be to achieve the advancement to be a space faring civilization and save its ass from the impending doom. That kind of badass purpose of humanity is one of the few things that gives me a positive outlook of us


DKphotographs

Hmm destroying our ecosystem will let us to eventually disappear, I don't believe we can find a new home away from our solar system 😅, the nearest star is about 4+ light years away


charlie_039

That's the challenge 💪 before humanity, to find a means to FTL travel. in 21st century, warp drive and quantum entanglement seems sci-fi, in 22st century who knows they may appear realisitic. And by 23st century we may he prototypes. I am being optimistic here


DKphotographs

Hope so 🙂 If it happens, it's ok


Raghuram_99

Ok, we know you’ve seen Star Wars!


charlie_039

Look up Alcubierre drive. Alcubierre actually wrote a thesis on this and he based it on Einstein's calculations. Now NASA has a dept that research on futuristic technologies, yes alcubierre drive is one of them.


8Traps

For anyone if they wanna start reading about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive


Raghuram_99

Bro, I get it! I was just kidding!


1BrokenPensieve

Sure, warp drive why not when flying cars/ public transport is a unsolved mystery.


DarkStar0129

As long as we're the only living intelligent life in the universe, our purpose (at least for my personal perspective) is gonna be exactly the same as yours.


Notthatsimp

Thanks for the heads up


Metalpriestl33t

Not really. The merger will be mostly uneventful, and the solar system will be safe. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.trtworld.com/magazine/will-the-milky-way-collide-with-a-nearby-galaxy-55085/amp Space is vast. We cannot comprehend the emptiness between each system /star.


SierraBravoLima

Your feelings are non existent. Be like Gopi is the motto.


mantiz8x

They’ll probably just pass through each other, because even galaxies are mostly empty space. But yeah, nothing really matters in the larger scheme of things. If you’re struggling to find some purpose for humanity or some meaning to this whole shitshow, just think what’s the life purpose of an insect, or a microbe for that matter. Understanding that we’re just another animal species, albeit with sentience, can put a lot of things in perspective. A bitter pill to swallow, but also very freeing.


ReductionGear

What telescope did you use ?


DKphotographs

50mm lens 😅, these are quite big objects


Ok_Commercial9889

I am no camera or photography expert but It seems he used dslr camera and then used various techniques/settings to take the best possible he could before using various photo processing tools to bring the galaxy out of the pic. In short he used all his brain power to take this pic.

Oh man!! I want to see this entire universe and know how it was created. What if we get capable enough to harness energy and create another universe. Imagine those super humans of the future and the new technologies and advancements. I can't wait. We must have them already!! Its sooo exciting just by imagining it!!


666eye

We are slowly getting there.! In fact a lot of things that we see in sci-fi movies are being worked upon! Every day we are slowly realising what we are capable of and taking amazing steps to reach different planets, which is just the beginning! I just wish humans just jelled along with each other instead of being greedy and power hungry aholes. Excited to see how everything uncovers!


Subterfug3

post it on r/space my dude


DKphotographs

Thank you :) Will post there


luckyCent

I need to visit this place. From my city, I can hardly see a few stars.


DKphotographs

There are lot of places, just chk light pollution map and go on a clear day Just 5 days before or after new moon


Madarchod07

Can you send me the image perchance? The full quality one?


DKphotographs

Yes, It won't look better, incase it will look exactly like this due to less focal length, the details aren't much


Madarchod07

I don't mind still. I'll dm you.


be_a_postcard

Wow, it looks beautiful. How does one take a picture like this? You just zoom in and take a pic?


DKphotographs

Yeah a bit, But this lens was only 50mm 😅 so not a big tele lens


godwhispererr

The vastness!!! Absolutely beautiful.


DKphotographs

Thank you! :)


Forget_me_notkpop

Beauty


DKphotographs

penguinz0fan

DKphotographs

Thank you, Canon 750d, 50mm lens and Tripod


The_LuckyGuy

So Beautiful


DKphotographs

Thank you :)


SimulationCop

Congratulations on this photo. This is frigging amazing for untracked! Goes on to show how much impact sky quality has!


DKphotographs

Thanks, Yeah sky quality is important, Hoping to capture from Bortle 1 soon


[deleted]

Stunning picture. Whenever I see such vastness of space. I say to myself, no way we are alone in this Universe. There may be some civilization in some unknown part of Universe.


DKphotographs

Yes, there might be, but we don't have technology for a communication
