NGC2264, the Christmas Tree Cluster in Widefield, shot in the night of December 3rd and 7. NGC2264 is located in the Monoceros constellation, some nice objects can be found here: The Cone Nebula, Hubble's Variable Nebula, the orange star cluster Trumpler 5 and some more. To bring out the red nebula, I have combined the RGB with the Ha data shot in the second night.

The Crab Nebula (M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.
At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 6,500 light years from Earth. It has a diameter of 11 light years.

Just for grins, I dug up all the 30-second M42 frames I've taken through my 80ED and fed all 120 light frames to DeepSkyStacker to see what I detail I could pull out. Looks like quite a bit. There are several seams visible on the right side of the photo where coverage was incomplete. I didn't entirely escape the red stripe problem either...
Comet Lulin, imaged at around 4:00 AM MST on 21 Feb 2009. I think I see a faint tail to the left of the core.
Stack of 40 frames @ 30 seconds each, ISO 1600, taken with a Canon XTi through an Orion 80mm f/6 apo refractor. Somehow DeepSkyStacker can stack the image twice--once aligned on the stars, and once on the comet--and magically composite the two so the comet and stars are both sharp--very cool.
See a video made with individual frames here, showing the motion of the comet.
A pretty boring open cluster.

I last imaged this object 3 years ago; despite using very different equipment then, this result is very similar. Curious.

Memories:It was my intention to aquire both Ha and OIII data during a 2 hour cloud free window that was forcast. Alas, the clouds rolled in limiting me to 10x180s of Ha only on the first night. More data was aquired between clouds on a subsequent night allowing me to produce a bicolour image of the Eastern Veil Nebula. I was quite please with the level of detail present with only 2 Hours of integration.

This shot was almost ruined by a plane flying right through the shot from top to bottom just as I'd decided to brave the freezing temperatures, but I persevered and the shot even coped with the farmer driving across the other side of the valley shining a flashlight to check his sheep.

The Elephant's Trunk nebula is a concentration of gas and dust located in the constellation Cepheus, ~2,400 light years away. The column of nebulous gas cloud is being ionized and lit up by a massive star inside (picture it inside the round section at the top of the trunk), and is thought to be a site of new star formation.
Personally, I like all the dusty, smoky regions surrounding it.
I have already attempted this one, but wasn't too happy with the noisiness and colour balance in my first try. So here we are again, this time with much more Hydrogen alpha data (collected 5+ hours, but only used about 3.5 hours worth thanks to clouds and haze).

Taken over two nights in September 2009 from my backyard observatory in Toronto, Canada
Canon 600D (not modified), Canon ef 75-300mm, Vixen Polarie mount, Hahnel tripod. 21 Light frames and 12 dark frames used.
Here, NGC 884 and 869 are shown. Commonly reffered to as "The Double Cluster", these two Open Star Clusters are reletively close to Earth within our Milky Way. The two lie in the constellation of Perseus. The Double Cluster is a naked eye object for some depending on age and location. Personally, NGC 884 and 869 are two of my favorite objects to look at. Because they are so large, most telescopes have to use low power magnification to veiw them, which makes the young hot stars really POP out from the background sky. Each star can be resolved, looking like a cloud of diamonds against the charcoal gray of the night sky.

Imaged with an AT65EDQ f/6.5 at 420mm of focal length.
The scope rode on a Celestron CG-5, guided with an Orion Starshoot Autoguider in an Orion 50mm mini guidescope, ran in PhD, and dithered with BackyardEOS.
The image is fully calibrated in DeepSkyStacker with darks, flats, bias, and flat darks. Post processing was done in CS6.

The Milky Way over Zion Lodge.
I wasn't thrilled about having the lodge in the photo. If I had planned ahead, I would have taken the shuttle bus up to the next stop to shoot the night sky, and walked back to the lodge (or taken the last shuttle).
I stacked six or so images in DeepSkyStacker, extracting two alignments (for foreground and sky). I also extracted and manually blended two exposures for the foreground.

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) as seen from the Lentevreugd nature reserve in Wassenaar in the Netherlands, on 21 July 2020.
The image shows the blue ion tail, redder dust tail, & the C2+ green-tinged nucleus.
This is a stack of 85 images taken with a Nikon D7000 + 85mm at f/2, ISO 1600, 3 sec exposures (untracked), 8.8º x 12.8º crop, at around 00:45CEST.
The images were stacked using DeepSkyStacker and the final image was processed using LightRoom. Quite a lot of work was needed to adjust the background vignetting, as I didn't take any flat fields.

Elephant Trunk Nebula narrowband 2 panel mosaic. Each panel was stacked, assembled, and processed with the following exposure times: 20X900"Ha, 20X900"OIII, and 20X900"SII.
Equipment used:
Canon 200mm f2.8 lens at f4, Atik 428ex camera, AP900 mount, DeepSkyStacker, Photoshop levels, curves, blending, guided with ZWO174mm and Stellarvue SVR90T.
The clouds held just enough to get a few shots of the milky way under the beautiful dark skies of Bon Echo Provicial Park.
Here are my first few edits, feel free to comment on some improvements. I'm using Rawtherapee for all pictures, and will be using DeepSkyStacker to try and lower noise down in my next edits.
Thanks for viewing!
First Test of shooting the Milky Way with my new lens 50 mm f/1.8.
I was surprised by the brightness of the stars (I was able to see them even with the live view !).
I superimposed 30 photos of this part of the sky with DeepSkyStacker without taking any offsets or darks...
On it we can see clearly the red color of the nebulas NGC7000 and IC5070.
Sorry for the bad focus .

My typical setup for astro imaging on my laptop in the observatory, via UltraVNC viewer indoors on my main PC. Screen capture from my 24" monitor.
Another screen not shown, is the one with DeepSkyStacker Live running (essential for the FWHM, Score and dx/dy graphs).
I have a three screen setup on my study PC.
