Lakeside Summernight Milkyway Panorama

Lovely image Keith. Is the skyline (mostly trees by the look of it) blurred due to wind?

I'd imagine the trees are blurred due to tracking the stars to get the long exposure required to get the milkyway to come out.

Lovely shot Keith but I do notice a definite green colour-cast on it for some reason.

Lovely shot Keith, do you have any filter on, filter off comparison shots?

Nice work Keith, the CLS filter seems to have done a good job. Do you think the red enhancement is deliberate of the filter, or a fluke of seeing conditions?

Seanie.

what do you use to track Keith? do you use a goTo mount or astrotrac? very nice image, id be very proud of it.

Is the skyline (mostly trees by the look of it) blurred due to wind?

No wind Dave, that just the tracking as the scope goes by :arrow:

the colour of the stars appear green

It looks like that might be a downside to using this filter, I too see a lot of green, but I'll work on that in future if I can Michael

What are the details on the filter?
How do you attach it to the camera?

Frank, here are the details of the filter:

as you can see it slips right in between the sensor and the lens (except an ef-s lens)

do you have any filter on, filter off comparison shots

It's a pity I don't, but I'll do that next time as I was caught out by the twighlight.....

Do you think the red enhancement is deliberate of the filter, or a fluke of seeing conditions

Seanie I honestly don't know, but I can tell you that for all my shooting through the years, the red nebulae are definitely more prominent than without using this filter, I don't think it was the conditions as it was a 'normal night seeing wise..

Keith..

Keith,
Here's a quick tinkering with your image. As you can see, you can remove alot of the green in Photoshop and improve the contrast. This was done just to the jpg you had above - alot more could be done with the original image.
