M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, is situated around 31 million light years from the Milky way. M51's weird shape is a result of two interacting galaxies (NGC 5194 and NGC 5195). As they interact, some regions containing gas get compressed and new stars get born.

The 1996 Great Comet three days before its maximum approaching to Earth, with 0.5 magnitude, a 2 degree coma diameter and a blue tail of fluorescent gas of 35 degrees longitude as long as Bootes constellation on wich is placed (the bright star at upper left is Arcturus).
The original chemical photography was obtained during 17 minutes at 800 ASA using a 50 milimeters objective mounted on piggyback on a 8" SCT Meade, and although shown the comet with its great magnificence, also present a strong vigneting and other usual bugs of epoch as a bad pass to positive: a big challenge for its remasterization.
The procedure was: clean the negative and remaster it digitally, to obtain a frameset through a macro against a light box, modify the white balance to neutralize the colour of negative, pass it to positive in PixInsight-LE, then calibrated and stacked in DeepSkyStacker, again with Pix-LE, I processed the image with usual metods, and finally with PSP, masked some scratches and defects of the original negative.

This is a widefield mosaic of the Cygnus (Swan) and Vega constellations, one of the richest areas in the Milky Way.
Each of the four frames was created by stacking three 2-minute exposures at ISO800, with dark frames for noise removal. Lens = Canon 50mm f1.8. The camera (Canon Rebel XT) was tracked using a Celestron CG5-GT mount. Stacking was done in DeepSkyStacker, levels and curves in Photoshop, and mosaicking in Autostitch.
M13 - The Great Hercules Cluster. This 11.65 billion year old formation of stars is one of the most impressive globular clusters in the northern hemisphere. Containing over 300,000 stars packed into a 145 light year sphere, the center of this object is 500 times more concentrated than its outer perimeters.

M34 open star cluster
Taken on 28th of September
Messier 34 is in the constellation of Perseus, approximately 1,500 light years away. It's designated NGC1039 in the New General Catalogue. Best observed in the months of October, November and December. You will need at least a pair of 10x50 binoculars to see it, but it looks it's best through a telescope at low magnifications.
Best 70% of 300 exposures, each 30 seconds at ISO 800
50 darks, flats & bias.
Stacked using DeepSkyStacker & processed using StarTools.
Used an 8" Skywatcher Quattro on a HEQ5 mount, my camera as always old Canon 1100D.

Playing around with astrophotography. This is a stack of about 580 dark-subtracted exposures from a stationary mount, 0.3 seconds each, ISO 1600, Pentax DA* 300mm f/4 wide open. Trailing of stars is still apparent. I'm impressed by how much detail even a single exposure contains. It would be nice to get the O-GPS1 accessory to extend the individual exposure time to several seconds without star trails.
Canon 5D3 with CGEM 1100HD. ISO 1600 with stack of 13 shots at 10 minutes exposure over two nights. Seeing was good to excellent. Manually guided with a dark frame for each shot. Celestron Off-Axis Guider was used with Orion's 12.5mm illuminated reticle eye piece. Processed using Deepskystacker.
The new camera is GREAT! Its low light capability is about twice that of the 550D. Here we see just a little grain in the nebulous areas. Here the gamma curve was boosted a lot to bring up the dim spirals causing the grain to become noticable - will need to increase my exposure time and/or ISO. The good seeing allowed lots of detail as well. Looks like the supernova (SN 2011fe) has dimmed a lot since last August (blue star at end of white line).

Close up on C/2011 L4 comet and Andromeda galaxy. Too bad it was over a town and light pollution got in the way.
23 x 8s stacked in DeepSkyStacker. Shot with compact camera, so forgive rather poor quality.
17*10 second shots. I used the K-1 astrotracer for this one, but it seems I need to use shorter time (or better callibration) next time.
This was done with the tamron 500mm/8 mirror lens 55BB.

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.
