Astrophotography Japan / Hunting Dark Nebulae (Episode 36)
This video shows my first attempts to image deep-sky dark nebulae. I tried a UV.IR cut filter, the Antlia Quadband filter, and even captured some images @ a Bortle class 4 dark-sky location. Images of the same target are compared and differences discussed. I also performed some wide-field imaging with a 50mm camera lens (Yongnuo) and a planetary camera.
