Astrophoto: Sadr Region by Matthew Dieterich
Poor sky condition is just one of the challenges astrophotographers encounter when taking a shot of astronomical bodies and events. But this did not stop Matthew Dieterich from coming up with nice photos, such as this image of the Sadr Region.
“Sky conditions were very poor, high humidity and poor transparency mixed with severe light pollution caused difficult color, which is still present in this final image.”
The Sadr region, also known as IC 1318, is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr or Gamma Cygni.
Matthew provided us with the camera and equipment specs he used:
Image details: 30 x 2 minutes unguided ISO 800
Mount: Astrotroniks performance tuned Atlas EQ-G
Optics: 8″ Powernewt Astrograph at F/2.8
Camera: Modified Canon Xsi
