The constellation Cygnus, the North America Nebula, the Milky Way, and the tops of my neighbor's ponderosa pine trees.

 

This is 2 images combined by DeepSkyStacker, and postprocessed in Gimp to accentuate the region around the NAN at the expense of the rest of the image. This is my first image with DSS, and I am very encouraged by the result. You can even faintly see the Pelican Nebula next to the NAN.

 

The stars were tracked with my hand-operated barn door tracker, and the exposure was somewhere between 15 seconds and 2 minutes. I was using a hand tape recorder to note the exposure data, but alas nothing is on the tape. I'm guessing 1 minute.

Reworked with histograms, cloned the image and repeated the histogram up to 5 times, and merged as HDR using the HDR function of PI, used some curves and mask to process after that.

An unguided/untracked, short-exposure view of the Great Orion Nebula captured with a series of 1/3-second-long exposures using a Nikon D5100 DSLR and a Nikkor 70-300mm zoom lens. This image reveals some of the complex structure in the core of the nebula including the so-called Trapezium star cluster (theta Orionis). The faintest stars recorded in this image are just below magnitude 12 (as checked with the star charting freeware Cartes du Ciel).

 

I think this image bears a strong likeness to a drawing made of this nebula in 1774 by Charles Messier. It thus might be considered a guide on how the Orion Nebula will look through a small telescope (I've rotated this image by 180 degrees to better match Messier's drawing, but otherwise it is shown here unreversed/uninverted as it would appear to the naked eye or though a pair of binoculars -- after allowing for any difference in image rotation).

Captured on January 2, 2012 between the hours of 11:45PM and 11:59PM PST from a moonlit and significantly light-polluted, near-center-city location using a Nikon D5100 DSLR with a Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G zoom lens set to its 300mm position (ISO 4000, 1/3 second, f/5.6).

 

Image stack created with DeepSkyStacker using 160 "light" frames (giving approximately 53 seconds of total exposure integration time), 128 "dark" frames, and 64 bias frames. Final adjustments done in Photoshop CS3.

 

All rights reserved.

Stacked from 10 frames in DeepSkyStacker then processed for color, these plus another 90 were used non-aligned to make a star trails image. I believe each frame was taken around 5 seconds at f/1.4 and ISO 1600 or 2000 for reference. The D800 with the 85mm f/1.4 is just shockingly sharp. I need to figure out how to deal with the vignetting at the corners though as it really makes a difference in the stacking.

With some bias and Flats, that I stacked using DeepSkystacker.

 

Second Step was to level the histogram of the up and down frames so they coud match.

 

Then Photoshop, for Level, LRGB assembly and high pass mask.

 

I try to mask the missing pixel..

 

And finalise the work with some Level, and colors fix.

 

Hope you like it!

Probably need a 300mm for a widefield on this, but I ain't got one, so this'll have to do. 200mm and cropped, this was beset with all sorts of problems that seem to be plaguing me at the moment, not least of which was having to ditch 30 subs because the camera made a unilateral decision to lose focus. But, brave little soldier that I am, I soldier on :)

The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628.

 

Total Exposure: 46 min (R:21, B:25, Synth G)

I shot this using a Canon 6D and 70-200mm lens at 200mm at f4. I shot 50 exposures at 2 seconds each and stacked them in DeepSkyStacker. I then cropped the photo. The nebula cloud around the Pleiades has just started to come out - another 50 photos and it might look even more pronounced! No equitorial mount was used - it is the software that takes out the Earth's rotation. I then used StarSpikes Pro to emphasise the brightest stars.

Como é bom fugir da poluição luminosa! Nebulosa Trífida (M20). Acho que esta é minha melhor captura de nebulosa até o momento. É uma região formadora de estrelas que mistura uma nebulosa de reflexão e uma nebulosa de emissão, misturando o azul e o vermelho. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem a necessidade de uso de filtros.

 

It's great to do astrophotography away from the light pollution! Trifid Nebula (M20). I think this is the best capture of a nebula that I made so far.

The picture was taken from a bortle 1/2 site, the @campingecachoeiradoscristais , without any filter.

October 31st, 2021. IC 5146 .Inside the Cocoon Nebula is a newly developing cluster of stars. Cataloged as IC 5146, the beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide, located some 4,000 light years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars and blue, dust-reflected starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud.

A triplet of galaxies that can be found, surprisingly enough, in the constellation of Leo.

The three galaxies making up the triplet are M65 (upper left), M66 (upper right) and NGC 3628 (bottom centre).

M65 & M66 are given Messier catalogue numbers as they were first discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1780. NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger galaxy, was missed by Messier. Most likely due to it's lower magnitude (brightness). It was however, discovered just four years later by German born, British astronomer William Herschel in 1784. Lying about 35 million light years away the three galaxies are thought to be interacting with each other. All three show signs of disturbance of some sort, especially the brighter of the three M66. Noticeable in the spiral arms and by the bursts of star formation clearly taking place in those spiral arms.

This image is made from 12x180 second exposures @ISO 800 plus 10 darks, 10 bias and 10 flat frames. I also used a 42 second exposure to bring out some of the detail in the very dense and bright centre of the cluster.

Phd2 guiding was used to guide my field flattened ED80 using a ZWOASI120MC camera (0.2 second exposures) attached to a SW 80T guide scope.

Capture camera was an unmodified canon EOS40D DSLR controlled by my home made camera trigger allowing mirror flip then Stacked using deepSkyStacker.

I was going to replace the original image with this, but then I wasn't sure if it was an improvement. California is a little more subdued, with slightly improved contrast, and M45 is a little more prominent against the background stars, which I think were a tad bloated in the previous version. The stars seem more prominent in Taurus than they do in Perseus for some reason.

 

Subtle difference, and probably not worth worrying about. Anyway - last version :)

M51 - E' una delle più belle galassie del cielo boreale, situata nella costellazione dei Cani da Caccia. Avevo già ripreso questa galassia (dovremmo in realtà parlare di una coppia di galassie interagenti) anni fa con scarsi risultati.

A dire il vero non sono soddisfatto da questa aleborazione. Purtroppo le immagini raw di provenienza non erano delle migliori: ho effettuato la ripresa da un luogo parzialmente inquinato con un newton da ben 42cm, disturbato anche da alcune luci che hanno creato un fastidioso gradiente (rimosso con PixInsight): sono quindi stato costretto a fare pose molto corte (sfruttando l'apertura ed il diametro dello strumento).

Dati tecnici: 5x90"@800iso + 4x30"@1600iso + 9x60"@1600iso + 5x90"@1600iso per un totale di 26 minuti di ripresa (con sottrazione del dark).

Da notare che l'immagine in questione è stata ripresa il 28 aprile del 2008.

This is one of the most incredible galaxies in northern sky, located in Canes Venatici constellation (Hunting Dogs). I already imaged this galaxy (we should talk about an interacting pair of galaxies, to be precise) long time ago with poor results and with weaker experience in astroimaging.

I'm not very satisfied with this image though. Unluckily, raw images weren't good enough: i made the exposures from a partially light-polluted sky with a 42cm (about 17inches) newtonian reflector, also disturbed by some lights wich created an annoying background gradient (removed with PixInsight): so i've been compelled to make short exposures taking advantage of aperture and diameter of that telescope.

Technical datas: 5x90"@800iso + 4x30"@1600iso + 9x60"@1600iso + 5x90"@1600iso , for a sum of 26minutes equivalent exposure (subtracted darks too).

Besides, this image was captured on april 28th of 2008 (i preferred waiting for better wnowledges in post processing).
