Adjusting your settings and hitting apply after a succesfull night of astrophotograpy
The best feeling after so many hours of work is when the stacking is done, and you hit that apply button after adjusting all your settings!
I know i misspelled astrophotography :/

Thats... kind of awesome, I wouldn't know the first thing about what is actually happening though?
LeCerial
It's in a program called deep sky stacker, and this is after you combine all you collected images to one, and adjust the settings

When two galaxies collide, the smaller one is being ripped apart and absorbed into the larger one. This is stunning OP, niiiice work.

I meant the image processing rather than the actual content of the image, but cheers :P

What kind of equipment do you use OP?
LeCerial
Skywatcher 200P with a NEQ6 PRO mount, Canon eos 60D with coma corrector at 57*120sec exposure 1600 ISO
Pilaris
Excellent, that's another load of stuff for me to save up for!
TrojanRecon
well.... at least i have the 60D... :(
LeCerial
And you can do the 120 second exposures :)

I also have a Rokinon 650-1300mm f/8-16 Telephoto Lens, the only thing i could do is moon photography... btw are those galaxies colliding?!
LeCerial
A tracking mount like this should do the job: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/astrotrac/astrotrac-tt320x-ag.html
LeCerial
It's all about that exposure time and proper tracking
LeCerial
If you get yourself a tracking mount you should be able to do some deep sky stuff as well with a lens..... and yes
