20240424 York Minster Panorama

 A cold and busy afternoon in York Minster.

Applied Stereographic Panorama to test the photo stitching function.

Moving objects were very difficult to stitch.

Final editing was relied on Photoshop.

Lucky stack then.

20240417-18 Llangollen Starry Night

 好耐沒有享受浪漫星空，只可惜今晚大月光，銀河只能淡淡地出現眼前，晚間氣溫在0度以下，黎明前就是沒有風，總覺得熱，甚至出汗。

今晚好努力影Panorama Stacking，個software真係偉大既發明，亦發覺作多年來努力改善，並不是只顧搵水。

要比些時間摸清個software性格，咁先可以雙得益彰。

很開心有這輯相，花了幾天直落執相、研究、嘗試、消化和理解，順便加番星座星名上去滿足下。

係咁。

20240402 Astro equipment open box

Great news!

Finally set up my Astro tools without any electronic connection testing. I bought them since early last year but never touched until now. How lazy am I! 

What are the next steps? Study, yes studying! All owner’s manuals and the apps. I predict that there is no photo can be shown before I studied the Astro editing software. It is a MUST to lock myself into my studying room in certain weeks. 

Equipments: 

Celestron C6 f10 OTA 
Celestron 0.63 Reduser 
HyperStar C6 v4 
ZWO ASI Air Pro ZWO ASI 30mm f4 Guiding-scope w/t ASI 20mm Mini CCD 
ZWO Filter Drawer w/t 2" duo-Band Filter 
ZWO EAF Auto focus motor 
The old mount - iOptron ZEQ25 

**Planning: 2M Dome observatory in the garden 

Wish my Observatory will be available soon.

20240225 Snowdon Summit

Was there twice a week for capturing snow mountains. This was not disappointed to be there and I got lot of fun and photos. Photos are not perfected, so will be there again in better weather.

20240219 Llyn Teyrn, Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn

 Achieved 16km hiking to the most famous place in my country two days ago. Two hours driving and six hour hiking over the lakes of Llyn Teyrn, Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn. Weather report was that It was a snowing day. But weather was difficult to measure. The "Heart Lake", the image of Wales, is the most valuable to visit. This Saturday will snow again. Will be there again. Good luck to me!

20240108 Llandwyn

 Where should I go in the sunny day?

It’s Llandwyn North Wales.

I have an other thing to clarify, the tide time and the height of the border between sea and beach.

Next project will be here again. Don’t want to dip into the sea. Water is quite cold even in summer.
