Stack of 20 shots at ISO 800 with 10 minute exposures. Dark frames were collected after the session along with flats. DeepSkyStaker was used to stack and GIMP was used for PP.

 

This is a big nebula created by a supernova some 8,000 years ago. Seems to be about 1,500 light-years away.

 

The Eastern Veil is just a small piece of the nebula but has lots of interest with red (H-II) emission, blue/green (O-III) emission and even some sodium emissions.

I shot this image over 2 nights on the 29th and 30th October from my little backyard observatory in Fremont Michigan. Consisting of 29 x 15 minute sub exposures (7.25 hours) using the Canon XSi at 800 ISO mounted on the TMB 130SS F7 Refractor.

   

This is a 1/3 crop and there are many more tiny fuzzies (galaxies) in the original image.

Camera: modified Canon XSi

29x15 min sub exposures at 800ISO with flat and dark frames.

There is a bit of "Schmidt Ghosts" in the image, although it is far better than when I was using a Meade SN10 and an old C8 (with the old, Starbright coating). This is my last image at Grandview Campground during our Aug.-Sep. WMA star party.

After waiting literally decades after seeing the orange tubes in an advertisement in a 1974 National Geographic I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope. I wanted to dab into astrophotography but didn’t want to buy a Celestron mount. I knew there were more modern mounts available but I liked the old, outdated look of the Losmandy mount, so that’s what I picked. However, the long, tough wait for Losmandy to make the mount is/was excruciating. In the meantime I ended up throwing the telescope tube on a tripod and temporarily use it that way. It’s a horrible experience and I can't wait for the telescope mount to come in.

 

At a focal length of 2000mm the moon was literally moving out of the frame so fast that I had to use a fast shutter speed and an awfully high ISO just to stop it, but it worked. I'll hold judgement on the optical qualities vs my usual 400mm lens until I can get some guided, low ISO photos.

 

So that said, here's my first unguided photo of the moon through the telescope.

This is the setup I use for shooting the moon and planets with my telescope. The Pepsi can keeps the telescope from getting off-balance due to the weight of the camera and camera mount.

Celestron CGEM 1100HD with Canon 60DA and EF 70-200mm/f2.8L II IS lens set at 200mm mounted to the scope. The scope was used for tracking only. Manual tracking was done using Celestron off-axis Guider and Orion's 12.5mm illuminated reticle eye-piece.

 

Stack of only 10 images but the camera and lens combo allowed a lot of SNR so the final image is pretty good for noise. Used ISO 400 at f2.8 and 10 minute light frames. I took a seperate series of 10 dark frames (five before and after the session) rather than the normal "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" setting that automatically takes a dark frame after each shot (didn't have time for that, needed to get as many frames as I could between the time the moon went down and sun rising). This worked better than I thought, not much hint of hot pixels etc.

 

Used GIMP for post-processing. Converted RGB to YUV and filtered the U/V channels to reduce grain while increasing the contrast of the Y channel. I shift the hue slightly to go from pink to red color.

 

This nebula is large (five moons could fit along it's long axis) so needed the lens to get it all. While there is a lot of Hydrogen Alpha radiation (red) the surface brightness is still pretty low. I was fighting the moon on this one, having to wait until it went down.
