The data for this images was collected on three evenings (02/03, 17/03 and 19/03/2017). North is up. My aim was to show the hydrogen gas being ejected from the galaxy, hence I used the CLS light pollution filter which suppresses the continuum of the stars a bit.
Technical data: 8" f/8 GSO RC and PrimaLuceLab 700Da cooled at -15 degree degree Celsius; ISO 3200.
The 23x5 min and 21x10 min exposures were stacked with DeepSkyStacker in auto adaptive weight averaging mode and further processed in Fitswork4, PS and Noiseware Community.

M7 Milky Way 9-02-2014, Central Ohio. a rudimentary image of the Milky Way Galaxy with Sagittarius, M7 Cluster and the Butterfly Cluster. The fog was already starting to rise with high clouds in the sky. From Hilliard you can not see the Milky Way with the naked eye. I also captured moon light in the upper right. Shot with my 50D and a Tamron 50mm prime 1.5 lens.This is full view with no crop.

There are 3 galaxies in this image taken from my back garden on the 10th of May, the night of the stunning aurora we all witnessed. They are NGC 5981 120 million light years away, NGC 5982 123 million light years away and NGC 5985 140 million light years away.
Look more closely and you'll notice quite a few more galaxies hiding in this image. There are quite a lot more that my camera couldn't pick up.
At the heart of NGC 5982 lies a black hole thought to be 830,000,000 solar masses.
For context, our Sun is 1 Solar mass, equivalent to 333,000 Earths.

At 36.7 light years away in the constellation Bootes, Arcturus is a type K1.5 IIIpe orange giant star. It is the fourth brightest star in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere.
I am trying to learn about stacking for Astrophotography and this is one of my first go's at using DeepSkyStacker. Really pleased with the comparison to any individual frame and looking forward to progressing onto dark, bias and offset frame stacking as I learn more about AP. There are some amazing images on here and when you know about the work and effort involved you can you really appreciate what you're actually looking at, on a whole new level, I am in awe of those able to produce such inspirational images, to you all I doff my cap!
Much to learn I have but get there I will!

Mein erster Versuch mit der Astrotrac TT320X-AG Nachführung.
Die Astrotrac wurde auf ein Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Stativ montiert.
Die Ausrichtung erfolgte mit dem Manfrotto Getriebekopf 405 und die Kamera ist auf einen Manfrotto Kugelkopf 498RC4 montiert.
Das Fotos besteht aus 5 RAW Einzebildern (plus zusätzlich 3 Dunkelbilder) und es wurde mit DeepSkyStacker zusammen gestackt.
Daten zu den Einzelbildern:

Für die Aufnahme habe ich meine Canon EOS 7D und das Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS II USM Objektiv verwendet.
Zusätzlich wurde noch ein Astronomik CLS Clip Filter eingesetzt um die Farben etwas besser heraus zu holen. Zusätzlich wurde das Foto mit DPP etwas nachgearbeitet.

This is an uncropped stacked photo of the Andromeda Galaxy. I took 10 photos of 3 minute exposures and then stacked them in DeepSkyStacker. An AstroTrac was used for tracking unguided. This is one of the best tracked photos I've managed to take. I nailed the polar alignment in one go and was amazed that it remained stable even after adjusting the camera and putting on a filter. Yes, the light pollution filter made a big difference if you're wondering.

The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
M33, one of the Milky Way's closest neighbours, located in the constellation Triangle. The size of the galaxy in the sky is about as large as the full Moon, so I used a f6.3 focal reducer on my f10 SCT.
This image is a stack of 20 three-minute exposures at ISO400, stacked with DeepSkyStacker and processed with Lightroom.

I love the stars!
This photo was taken from Silchester, Hampshire, UK (51.35 long, 1.06667 lat).on 24 September 2013 between 11.00pm and 11.30pm.
The photo is composed of 20 exposures of 75 seconds at ISO 6400 with 8 dark frames subtracted and all stacked using Deepskystacker.
The Crab Nebula (M1) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Taurus. It is a supernova remnant (the remains of an exploding star) which was witnessed on earth in 1054 and recorded by Chinese astronomers. It is a small target but a beautiful one in my opinion.
My equipment is a modified Canon EOS 1100D, a Sky Watcher ED80 telescope and an EQ3-2 Mount with an RA motor. I also used a UHC filter.
Stack of 24 fifteen-second shots. The sky was rapidly turning to predawn twilight as I took this sequence--I'm guessing that's why the nebula wound up kind of bluish. Either that or the deep red Lagoon Nebula I've seen in photos is largely H-alpha.
Really had to slaughter the contrast to bring out the nebulosity. Gonna have to try this from Leamington...
