Carefully framed picture to get both the horsehead and flame in one shot, taken as part of Stargazing Live from my back garden. Celestron Nexstar C8, Starizona corrector, astromodded canon EOS550D, CLS clipfilter, CG-5 mount guided with Celestron guidescope/SP900C cam and PHD guiding, BackYardEOS image capture. 40 x 120s subs at iso3200, stacked in DeepSkyStacker (without darks - in a hurry). Everything crahsed atleast once - laptop froze, and even the scope controller crashed and lost alignment. Still, it was beautifully clear and dark.

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.

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!

15x 30s subs ISO1600 stacked in DeepSkyStacker (10 Darks, 20 Flats, 20 Bias) processed in PixInsight and Photoshop. Canon EOS 450D DSLR prime focus Sky-Watcher 150P Newtonian EQ3-2 mount. Baader Neodymium filter, Sky-Watcher coma corrector.
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 :)

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.

Still very low and only just above the roof of my observatory. There was some thin cloud interference in many frames. Still nice to get some structure in the ion tail.

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. This is a forming star region that mixes reflection and emission nebulae, with the blue and red colors. 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.
All data gathered at The Astronomy Centre, Todmorden, UK.

This image of the Milky Way has been made by using DeepSkyStacker to stack a few frames that I took yesterday close to our city boundary. I do believe that the white haze on the right may well be due to light pollution coming from Sheffield city lights!
Mais uma captura da M27, a nebulosa do haltere. Ela é grande no céu e bem brilhante, podendo ser vista pela ocular do telescópio e até algumas buscadoras como um brilho bem difuso, uma fumaça circular no céu. Capturá-la em imagens não é difícil, sendo um dos meus primeiros alvos quando estava iniciando. Agora fiz nova captura e muito melhor que a anterior. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 8.
Another capture of the M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. It's big in the sky and quite bright. It can be seen in a telescope and even some finderscopes as a circle of grey gas. Capture it is not hard at all, and it was one of my first targets when I was starting at the hoby. Now I made a new one and way better. The picture was taken from a bortle 8 site.

In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.

One of the most fascinating regions of the sky, the region below the belt stars in Orion. The rather large nebula is the famous Orion Nebula, a region of new star formation 1,300 light-years away. The other region is just below Alnitak, the lowest of the belt stars. Here there is the Flame Nebula and the famous Horsehead Nebula, a faint hydrogen-alpha area with a dust cloud in the shape of a horse's head. It's hard to see here, but in a longer focal length lens it should look well defined.
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 :)
