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.

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.
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.
First attempt at deep space astrophotography, taken in the garden with a standard tripod. 94 x 2 seconds at f/4, ISO 3200 with canon 40d and 70-200mm l lens, at 200mm. Stacked using Deep Sky Stacker with 94 dark frames, then processed (through trial and error) in CS4.

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:
Belichtungszeit: 60sec.
Blende: f4,5
ISO: 3200
Brennweite: 182mm
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.
My frist test with my Astrotrac TT320X-AG.
The Astrotrac is mounted on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod.
The alignment was made with the Manfrotte Geardhead 405 and the camera is but on a Manfrotto Ballhead 498RC4.
The Picture is made from 5 RAW sinlge frames (and 3 Darks) and was stacked with the DeepSkyStacker software.
